Radiation Therapy to the Brain or Observation in Preventing Brain Metastases in Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Summary

RATIONALE: Radiation therapy to the brain may be effective in preventing brain metastases in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer. It is not yet known whether radiation therapy is more effective than observation in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
