NCT00436410
RATIONALE: Biological therapies, such as tumor necrosis factor, may stimulate the immune system in different ways and stop tumor cells from growing. Studying tumor necrosis factor in samples of tumor tissue and healthy tissue from patients with cancer in the laboratory may help doctors learn how tumor necrosis factor works in tumor tissue and healthy tissue. PURPOSE: This clinical trial is studying tumor necrosis factor in patients undergoing surgery for primary cancer or metastatic cancer .
NCT00547612
RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as positron emission tomography (PET) using \[18F\]-labeled substance P antagonist receptor quantifier, may be effective in finding disease in patients with pancreatic cancer. PURPOSE: This phase I trial is studying how well a PET scan using \[18F\]-labeled substance P antagonist receptor quantifier works in finding disease in patients with pancreatic cancer.
NCT00003125
RATIONALE: Vaccines may make the body build an immune response to kill tumor cells. Colony-stimulating factors such as sargramostim may increase the number of immune cells. Interleukin-2 may stimulate a person's white blood cells to kill cancer cells. Combining vaccine therapy, sargramostim, and interleukin-2 may kill more cancer cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of vaccine therapy, sargramostim, and interleukin-2 in treating patients who have advanced tumors.
