OBJECTIVES: Primary * Determine whether peak standardized uptake value (SUV) for fludeoxyglucose F 18 positron emission tomography (FDG-PET) shortly after definitive chemoradiotherapy is predictive of long-term survival of patients with inoperable stage IIB or III non-small cell lung cancer. Secondary * Determine whether max SUV for FDG-PET shortly after definitive chemoradiotherapy is predictive of long-term survival in these patients. * Determine whether post-treatment imaging using peak and max SUV for FDG-PET shortly after definitive chemoradiotherapy is predictive of local disease control in these patients. * Determine whether pre-treatment imaging using these techniques is predictive of long-term survival and local disease control in these patients. * Correlate, if possible, Ki-67 expression with overall survival of patients assessed with these imaging techniques. OUTLINE: This is a diagnostic, multicenter study. Before starting chemoradiotherapy, patients undergo baseline whole-body positron emission tomography (PET) imaging. Patients receive fludeoxyglucose F 18 (\^18FDG) IV followed 50-70 minutes later by PET imaging. Patients then receive concurrent definitive radiotherapy and chemotherapy. Patients enrolled in other treatment-oriented clinical trials receive therapy as per that trial. Other patients receive standard thoracic radiotherapy (dose ≥ 60 Gy) and standard chemotherapy comprising a platin (cisplatin or carboplatin) and a second non-platin, non-gemcitabine drug (etoposide, vinblastine, vinorelbine, paclitaxel, or docetaxel). Approximately 14 weeks after completion of chemoradiotherapy and adjuvant chemotherapy (if given), patients undergo post-treatment \^18FDG-PET imaging. Patients are followed every 3 months for 2 years and then every 6 months for at least 1 year. PROJECTED ACCRUAL: A total of 250 patients (including at least 75 with stage IIB/IIIA disease and at least 75 with stage IIIB disease) will be accrued for this study within 2 years.

Protocol

This section provides details of the study plan, including how the study is designed and what the study is measuring.
Design Details

250 patients to be enrolled

Total number of participants that the clinical trial aims to recruit.

Diagnostic Study

Diagnostic studies focus on improving how we detect or confirm a disease. They test new tools or techniques that could provide faster or more accurate diagnoses.

Eligibility

Researchers look for people who fit a certain description, called eligibility criteria: person's general health condition or prior treatments.
