Summary
Randomized phase III trial to compare the effectiveness of surgery with or without
combination chemotherapy in treating patients who have stage I non-small cell lung cancer.
Drugs used in chemotherapy use different ways to stop tumor cells from dividing so they stop
growing or die. Combining more than one drug may kill more tumor cells. It is not yet known
whether surgery is more effective with or without chemotherapy for non-small cell lung
cancer.
