Study of Blood and Tissue Samples in Predicting Response to Second-Line Therapy Using Erlotinib Hydrochloride or Chemotherapy in Patients With Advanced Non-Small Cell Lung Cancer

Summary

RATIONALE: Studying the proteins expressed in samples of blood and tissue from patients with cancer may help doctors identify biomarkers related to cancer. It may also help doctors predict how patients will respond to treatment. PURPOSE: This randomized phase III trial is studying blood and tissue samples in predicting response to second-line therapy using erlotinib hydrochloride or chemotherapy in patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
