Summary
This phase II trial studies the side effects and how well vinorelbine tartrate and paclitaxel
works in treating older patients with non-small cell lung cancer that has spread to other
placed in the body. Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as vinorelbine tartrate and paclitaxel,
work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells, by
stopping them from dividing, or by stopping them from spreading. Giving combination
chemotherapy may kill more tumor cells.
