Ph II Adjuvant Carboplatin/Docetaxel in Curatively Resected Stage I-IIIA NSCLC

Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving carboplatin together with docetaxel after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving carboplatin together with docetaxel works in treating patients with stage I, stage II, or stage III non-small cell lung cancer.
