Summary

RATIONALE: Drugs used in chemotherapy, such as pemetrexed disodium and carboplatin, work in different ways to stop the growth of tumor cells, either by killing the cells or by stopping them from dividing. Giving more than one drug (combination chemotherapy) may kill more tumor cells.

PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well giving pemetrexed disodium together with carboplatin works in treating patients with extensive-stage small cell lung cancer.
