Brief Summary: RATIONALE Biological therapies use different ways to stimulate the immune system to try to stop cancer cells from growing Combining interferon alfa and interleukin-2 may kill more tumor cells

PURPOSE Phase II trial to study the effectiveness of interferon alfa and interleukin-2 in treating patients with metastatic kidney cancer
Detailed Description: OBJECTIVES

Evaluate the response and disease-free survival of patients with metastatic renal cell carcinoma treated with subcutaneous interleukin-2 and interferon alfa
Assess the toxicity of this regimen

OUTLINE Patients undergo nephrectomy if the diseased kidney makes up the bulk of the tumor burden

All patients receive subcutaneous interferon alfa on day 1 and interleukin-2 on days 3-5 of week 1 followed by reduced doses of interferon alfa and interleukin-2 on days 1 3 and 5 of weeks 2-6 Patients are assessed for response approximately 2 months after initiating therapy Patients with stable or responding disease undergo a second course those who continue to respond may receive additional therapy provided toxicity is limited

Patients are followed for survival

PROJECTED ACCRUAL 14 patients will be entered
