Non-Small-Cell Lung Carcinoma
Conditions
Brief summary
The purposes of this study are to determine: How standard gemcitabine plus cisplatin compares to fixed dose rate of gemcitabine plus cisplatin in the treatment of non-small cell lung cancer. The safety of standard gemcitabine plus cisplatin and any side effects that might be associated with it as compared to a fixed dose rate of gemcitabine plus cisplatin.
