Vinorelbine Tartrate and Paclitaxel in Treating Older Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Summary

This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well vinorelbine tartrate and paclitaxel works in treating older patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other placed in the body. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vinorelbine tartrate and paclitaxel, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving combination chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells.
