Brief Summary: RATIONALE Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop growing or die Giving chemotherapy drugs before surgery may shrink the tumor so that it can be removed during surgery

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have mesothelioma of the lung
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine the proportion of patients with potentially resectable mesothelioma of the pleura remaining operable after treatment with neoadjuvant cisplatin and gemcitabine
Determine the response rate and overall survival of patients treated with this regimen
Determine the tolerability of this regimen in these patients
Determine the number of postoperative hospitalization days and occurrence and duration of surgical complications in patients treated with this regimen
Determine the quality of life of patients treated with this regimen
Compare the proportion of patients who report psychological distress at 3 months after surgery vs at study registration

OUTLINE Patients receive cisplatin IV on day 1 and gemcitabine IV on days 1 8 and 15 Treatment repeats every 28 days for 3 courses Within 6 weeks after completion of chemotherapy patients undergo restaging by CT scan followed by surgical resection

Quality of life is assessed at baseline day 1 of course 3 within 4 weeks after surgery and then at 3 and 6 months

Patients are followed every 3 months for 1 year and then every 6 months thereafter

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 61 patients will be accrued for this study
