Purpose
RATIONALE: Ammonium tetrathiomolybdate may stop the growth of non-small cell lung cancer by blocking blood flow to the tumor. Radiation therapy uses high-energy x-rays to kill tumor cells. Giving ammonium tetrathiomolybdate together with radiation therapy may kill more tumor cells.
PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying the side effects of giving radiation therapy together with ammonium tetrathiomolybdate in treating patients with stage I, stage II, or stage III non-small cell lung cancer.

Drug: ammonium tetrathiomolybdate
OBJECTIVES:
Primary
- To assess the acute toxicity of combining antiangiogenic copper reduction with ammonium tetrathiomolybdate (TM) and standard external-beam radiotherapy in patients with stage I-IIIB non-small cell lung cancer.
Secondary
- To measure changes in biological markers of angiogenesis (i.e., ELISA analysis of serum bFGF, VEGF, TGF-beta, IL-6, and IL-8) affected by TM or radiotherapy and an imaging technique (technetium 99m sestamibi) known to correlate with intratumoral angiogenesis.
- To follow the late toxicity that exists when angiogenic inhibition with the copper reduction agent TM is combined with standard external-beam radiotherapy in these patients.
- To collect tumor response, recurrence rate, and survival data on these patients.
OUTLINE:
- Induction phase: Patients receive oral ammonium tetrathiomolybdate (TM) 4 times daily for up to 3 weeks.
- Radiotherapy: Patients undergo radiotherapy once daily, 5 days a week, for 6-7 weeks along with concurrent TM.
- Maintenance phase: Patients continue to receive TM for a total of 1 year . Blood is collected periodically for analysis of laboratory outcomes by ELISA and technetium 99m sestamibi scans. Biomarkers may include VEGF, bFGF, TGF-beta, interleukin (IL)-6, and IL-8.
After completion of study therapy, patients are followed every 3 months for up to 2 years.

DISEASE CHARACTERISTICS:
Histologically or cytologically confirmed non-small cell lung cancer (NSCLC) meeting the following criteria:
Squamous, large cell undifferentiated, or adenocarcinoma
- Sputum cytology not acceptable evidence of cell type
- Cytologic specimens obtained by brushing, washing, or needle aspiration of a defined lesion allowed
- Stage I-IIIB disease
- No evidence of distant metastases
- Planning to receive definitive radiotherapy alone or post-operative radiotherapy (for gross residual disease or positive margin)
- Medically inoperable disease or chemotherapy or surgery refused
Mediastinal lymph nodes must be evaluated by either mediastinoscopy or by PET scan, unless definitive CT-positive mediastinal disease is noted
- If patient cannot tolerate mediastinoscopy and no PET is available, the technetium 99m sestamibi scan is allowed for assessment of the mediastinum
- No stage IIIB disease with pleural effusions or stage IV disease
- No small cell lung cancer or mixed small cell/non-small cell histology
PATIENT CHARACTERISTICS:
- SWOG performance status 0-2
- Hemoglobin ≥ 9.0 g/dL
- WBC ≥ 3,000/mm³
- ANC ≥ 1,200/mm³
- Platelet count ≥ 80,000/mm³
- Creatinine < 1.8 mg/dL
Prior malignancy allowed if disease free for ≥ 5 years
- Nonmelanoma skin cancer allowed within 5 years
- Not pregnant or nursing
- Negative pregnancy test
- Fertile patients must use effective contraception
- No grade 3 hemoptysis (or hemoptysis not requiring transfusion, but where the radiation oncologist has concerns about a 3-week delay in treatment)
- No pneumonia due to bronchial obstruction (or a high-grade bronchial obstruction where the radiation oncologist has concerns about a 3-week delay in treatment)
- No transfusion dependence requiring > 2 units of packed RBCs every 2 weeks for more than 28 days
- No medically serious acute or chronic medical condition that is unstable and/or requires intensive management
PRIOR CONCURRENT THERAPY:
- See Disease Characteristics
- Prior thoracic radiation allowed if the new lesion can be treated with absolutely no overlap of previous treatment fields
- At least 3 weeks since prior surgery
- No concurrent chemotherapy
