Summary
Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as carboplatin and paclitaxel, work in different ways to
stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from
dividing. Vorinostat may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes
needed for cell growth. It is not yet known whether giving carboplatin and paclitaxel
together is more effective with or without vorinostat in treating non-small cell lung cancer.
