Positron Emission Tomography as a Predictor of Response Measured by the Decrease in Standard Uptake Variable (SUV) After 1 Course of Therapy

Study Overview

Brief Summary

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as positron emission tomography (PET), (done before, during, and after chemotherapy) may help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pemetrexed disodium and cisplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving combination chemotherapy after surgery may kill any tumor cells that remain after surgery.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well PET works in predicting response in patients who are undergoing treatment with pemetrexed disodium and cisplatin with or without surgery for stage I, stage II, or stage III non-small cell lung cancer.

Detailed Description

OBJECTIVES:

Primary

  • Determine the effectiveness of fludeoxyglucose F 18 positron emission tomography in predicting radiological and pathological response in patients treated with pemetrexed disodium and cisplatin with or without surgery for stage IB-IIIB non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC).

Secondary

  • Determine the safety of cisplatin and pemetrexed disodium in these patients.
  • Determine the radiographic response rate, duration of response, and time to progression in patients treated with cisplatin and pemetrexed disodium.
