About
The purpose of this study is to see if this combination of chemotherapy plus radiation therapy and immunotherapy (with bevacizumab) expands treatment options for patients with non-small cell lung cancer.
Full description
The patients on this study will receive treatment in 3 stages of therapy.
The first stage is Induction Therapy. This therapy is 7 weeks long. Patients will receive bevacizumab followed by pemetrexed followed by carboplatin all by vein once a week in weeks 1 and 4. During Induction patients will also receive radiation therapy daily, Monday through Friday, for 7 weeks (weeks 1-7). This is followed by 2 weeks of rest.
