Summary
RATIONALE: Celecoxib may slow the growth of cancer by stopping blood flow to the tumor. Drugs
used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop
growing or die. Combining chemotherapy with celecoxib may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining celecoxib and docetaxel in
treating patients who have advanced non-small cell lung cancer that has been previously
treated with platinum-based chemotherapy.
