Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Combining more than one drug is a way to kill more tumor cells.
Combining radiation therapy with chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Randomized phase III trial to compare the effect of two combination chemotherapy
regimens followed by radiation therapy in treating patients with small cell lung cancer.
