Summary
RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so
they stop growing or die. Radiation therapy uses high energy x-rays to damage tumor cells.
Vaccines may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. Combining
chemotherapy and radiation therapy with vaccine therapy may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of combining chemotherapy and radiation
therapy with vaccine therapy in treating patients who have limited-stage small cell lung
cancer.
