What was measured

FDG ΔSUVpeak, as measured from Baseline to the During-treatment FDG PET/CT, will be assessed in its ability to predict Lung Cancer Cause-specific Survival (LCCS) and an Optimal Threshold (OT) for differentiating responders from non-responders will be identified ΔSUVpeak defined as ((during-treatment measure - baseline measure)/baseline measure) x 100%) LCCS defined as NO Lung Cancer Cause-specific disease 5 years post registration (Responders) OT defined as the ΔSUVpeak value corresponding to the maximum Youden index

Groups in this outcome

Both Arms

Patients undergo chemoradiotherapy as defined for the arm of the study to which they were randomized. 18F-Fluoromisonidazole: Undergo FMISO PET/CT prior to therapy for patients enrolling at institutions participating in the FMISO correlative study

Arm I (Standard Chemoradiotherapy)

Patients undergo standard radiotherapy QD 5 days a week for 30 fractions. Patients also receive paclitaxel IV over 1 hour and carboplatin IV over 30 minutes once weekly for 6 weeks. Patients undergo FMISO-PET imaging at baseline 18F-Fluoromisonidazole: Undergo FMISO PET/CT prior to therapy for patients enrolling at institutions participating in the FMISO correlative study Carboplatin: Given IV External Beam Radiation Therapy: Undergo radiotherapy

Arm II (Experimental Chemoradiotherapy)

Patients undergo an individualized dose of image-guided radiotherapy QD 5 days a week for 30 fractions and undergo 18 F FDG-PET/CT between fractions 18 and 19. Based on the scan results, patients undergo individualized adaptive radiotherapy for the final 9 fractions. Patients also receive paclitaxel and carboplatin as in Arm I. 18F-Fluoromisonidazole: Participants enrolled at institutions participating in the FMISO correlative study undergo FMISO-PET prior to treatment Carboplatin: Given IV Computed Tomography: Undergo FDG PET/CT Computed Tomography: Undergo FMISO PET/CT (Correlative studies) Fludeoxyglucose F-18: Undergo FDG PET/CT Image-Guided Adaptive Radiation Therapy: Undergo individualized adaptive radiotherapy Laboratory Biomarker Analysis: Correlative studies Paclitaxel: Given IV Positron Emission Tomography: Undergo FDG PET/CT Positron Emission Tomography: Undergo FMISO PET/CT (Correlative studies)
