Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Chemoprotective drugs such as amifostine may protect normal cells from the side effects of chemotherapy Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of paclitaxel carboplatin amifostine and radiation therapy in treating patients who have unresectable locally advanced or partially resected non-small cell lung cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES I Determine the toxic effects and antitumor efficacy of paclitaxel plus carboplatin in patients with unresectable intrathoracic non-small cell lung cancer NSCLC II Integrate concurrent thoracic radiation therapy and weekly low dose paclitaxel into treatment of this patient population III Investigate a primary chemoradiotherapy treatment approach in a population of patients selected on the basis of performance status regardless of degree of weight loss IV Determine the effect of amifostine on the incidence of treatment nonhematologic toxic effects specifically esophagitis pneumonitis and radiation dermatitis in these patients

OUTLINE This is an open label study Patients receive induction therapy comprising paclitaxel IV over 3 hours followed by carboplatin IV over 1 hour on days 1 and 21 Patients then undergo radiotherapy beginning on day 42 or no later than day 63 daily 5 days a week for 7 weeks Patients also receive amifostine IV over 15 minutes followed by paclitaxel IV over 3 hours weekly day 1 each week concurrently for the duration of radiotherapy On 2 other days of the week patients receive amifostine alone preceding thoracic radiotherapy Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months until disease progression or death

PROJECTED ACCRUAL Approximately 15-35 patients will be accrued for this study
