Brief Summary: RATIONALE: Erlotinib may stop the growth of tumor cells by blocking some of the enzymes needed for cell growth. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well erlotinib works in treating patients with advanced non-small cell lung cancer.
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES: Primary * Determine the major objective response rate (partial response and complete response) in patients with advanced bronchoalveolar cell non-small cell lung cancer treated with erlotinib hydrochloride. Secondary * Assess the quality of life of patients treated with this regimen. * Determine the duration of response and time to disease progression in patients treated with this regimen. * Determine the median survival of patients treated with this regimen. OUTLINE: This is an open-label, nonrandomized, multicenter study. Patients receive oral erlotinib hydrochloride daily in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity.
