Purpose
Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as etoposide and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. It is not yet known which radiation therapy regimen is more effective when given together with chemotherapy in treating patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer. This randomized phase III trial is comparing different chest radiation therapy regimens to see how well they work in treating patients with limited-stage small cell lung cancer.

| Arms | Assigned Interventions |
|---|---|
|
Active Comparator: Arm I
Patients undergo standard-dose (45 Gy given) thoracic radiotherapy twice daily, every day, for 3 weeks. Chemotherapy (cisplatin and etoposide) will be administered at specific time points every 21 days for 4 cycles for a total of 12 weeks.
|
Radiation: 3-dimensional conformal radiation therapy
Given at 1 of 2 doses on one of two different schedules (Arm III discontinued as of 01/15/13)
Radiation: intensity-modulated radiation therapy
Given at 1 of 2 doses on one of two different schedules (Arm III discontinued as of 01/15/13)
Drug: cisplatin
80 mg/m2 by intravenous (IV) on day 1 of each 21 day cycle. Protocol therapy consists of 4 cycles of cisplatin administered every 21 days.
Drug: etoposide
100 mg/m2 by IV on days 1, 2 and 3 of each 21 day cycle. Protocol therapy consists of a total of 4 cycles of etoposide.
|
|
Experimental: Arm II
Patients undergo higher-dose (70 Gy) thoracic radiotherapy once daily, every day, for 7 weeks. Chemotherapy (cisplatin and etoposide) will be administered at specific time points every 21 days for 4 cycles for a total of 12 weeks.

Experimental: Arm III
(discontinued as of 03/10/13) Patients undergo higher-dose (61.2 Gy) thoracic radiotherapy once daily, 5 days a week, during the initial 16 days of treatment and then twice daily for 9 days of treatment.Chemotherapy (cisplatin and etoposide) will be administered at specific time points every 21 days for 4 cycles for a total of 12 weeks.

DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
Histologically or cytologically documented small cell lung cancer (SCLC)
Limited-stage disease
- Disease restricted to one hemithorax with regional lymph node metastases, including ipsilateral hilar, ipsilateral and contralateral mediastinal, and ipsilateral supraclavicular lymph nodes
The following patients are not eligible:
- Patients with disease involvement of the contralateral hilar or supraclavicular lymph nodes
- Patients with pleural effusions that are visible on plain chest radiographs, whether cytologically positive or not
- Patients with cytologically positive pleural or pericardial fluid, regardless of the appearance on plain x-ray
- Measurable disease, defined as at least one unidimensionally measurable lesion ≥ 2 cm by conventional techniques OR ≥ 1 cm by spiral CT scan
PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:
- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2
- Granulocytes ≥ 1,500/µl
- Platelet count ≥ 100,000/µl
- Total bilirubin ≤ 1.5 times upper limit of normal (ULN)
- AST ≤ 2.0 times ULN
- Serum creatinine ≤ 1.5 times ULN OR creatinine clearance ≥ 70 mL/min
- Not pregnant or nursing
- Negative pregnancy test
- Fertile patients must use effective contraception
PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
Patients may have received one and only one course of chemotherapy prior to enrolling on CALGB 30610, which must have included cisplatin and etoposide
- If a patient has had one course of cisplatin/etoposide prior to registration, the patient must have had all of the prior-to-registration tests prior to starting their first course of chemotherapy
- Registration to CALGB-30610 must take place within 14-21 days after the start of the non-protocol therapy; failing to do all of the above will make the patient NOT eligible for CALGB-30610
- No prior radiotherapy or chemotherapy (except for the chemotherapy described above) for SCLC
- No prior mediastinal or thoracic radiotherapy
- No prior complete surgical resection of SCLC
