Brief Title: Using TRAP to Evaluate the Effect of Zometa on Bone Metastasis Due to Lung Cancer
Official Title: Bone Metabolic Markers, TRAP, and Zometa's Effect on Bone Metastasis Due to Lung Cancer
Study ID: NCT00265200
Brief Summary: The purpose of this study is to evaluate a new blood test as a way to follow the effect of Zometa in treating bone metastases due to lung cancer.
Detailed Description: The purpose of this research study is to evaluate a new blood test as a way to follow the effect of Zometa in treating bone metastases.
