Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as docetaxel, work in different ways to stop the
growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing.
Chemotherapy drugs may have different effects in older patients.
PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well docetaxel works in treating older patients
with locally advanced or metastatic non-small cell lung cancer.
