Tumor Cell Vaccine in Treating Patients With Advanced Cancer

Summary

RATIONALE: Vaccines made from the patient's cancer cells may make the body build an immune response and kill their tumor cells. PURPOSE: Randomized phase II trial to study the effectiveness of autologous tumor cell vaccination plus immunologic adjuvant in treating patients who have metastatic cancer.
