Positron Emission Tomography and CT Scan in Predicting Response in Patients With Metastatic Melanoma or Kidney Cancer Who Are Undergoing Cellular Adoptive Immunotherapy on a Surgery Branch Clinical Trial

Completed · Phase 2

Conditions studied: Kidney Cancer, Melanoma (Skin)

In brief

RATIONALE: Diagnostic procedures, such as positron emission tomography and computed tomography scan (done before and after cellular adoptive immunotherapy), may help doctors predict a patient's response to treatment and help plan the best treatment. PURPOSE: This phase II trial is studying how well positron emission tomography and computed tomography scan predicts response in patients with metastatic melanoma or kidney cancer who are undergoing cellular adoptive immunotherapy on a Surgery Branch clinical trial.
