Brief Summary: RATIONALE Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to damage tumor cells It is not yet known if giving radiation therapy to the head is effective in preventing CNS metastases in patients who have stage III non-small cell lung cancer

PURPOSE This randomized phase III trial is studying how well radiation therapy to the head works in preventing CNS metastases in patients who have been previously treated for stage III non-small cell lung cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Determine whether prophylactic cranial irradiation improves survival after effective locoregionalsystemic therapy in patients with stage IIIA or IIIB non-small cell lung cancer
Determine the neuropsychologic impact of this therapy in these patients
Assess quality of life of patients receiving this therapy
Determine the impact of this therapy on the incidence of CNS metastases in these patients

OUTLINE This is a randomized multicenter study Patients are stratified according to disease stage IIIA vs IIIB histology non-squamous cell vs squamous cell and prior surgery yes vs no Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms

Arm I Patients undergo prophylactic cranial irradiation 5 days a week for 3 weeks
Arm II Patients undergo observation

Patients are followed 3 months during the first year every 6 months for 2-3 years and then annually thereafter Quality of life is assessed at baseline and at months 6 12 24 36 and 48

PROJECTED ACCRUAL A total of 1058 patients 529 per treatment arm will be accrued for this study within 36 months
