Combining different types of biological therapies, including interferon alfa, interleukin-2, and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of biological therapies, including interferon alfa, interleukin-2, and tumor infiltrating lymphocytes, in treating patients with metastatic cancer.

Interventions

  • BIOLOGICAL aldesleukin
  • BIOLOGICAL recombinant interferon alfa
  • BIOLOGICAL therapeutic tumor infiltrating lymphocytes
  • DRUG cimetidine
