PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate toxicity in patients with lung metastases during aerosol interleukin (IL)-2 (aldesleukin) therapy using self-report, remote spirometry and pulse oximetry. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine dose and schedule of an acceptable aerosol IL-2 regimen and correlate with absolute lymphocyte count (ALC). II. To determine serum IL-2 levels on day 1 of therapy for evidence of spillover into circulation and correlate with absence or presence of toxicity. III. To evaluate the efficacy of aerosol IL-2 treatment using Response Evaluation Criteria in Solid Tumors (RECIST). TERTIARY OBJECTIVES: I. To evaluate the histology in post-surgical specimens in patients who undergo surgery for lung metastases following aerosol IL-2 treatment as an optional procedure. II. To evaluate immune correlates from optional pre-treatment biopsy and post-surgical specimen. OUTLINE: This is a phase I, dose-escalation study followed by a phase II study. Patients receive aerosolized aldesleukin once daily (QD) on days 1-21. Courses repeat every 28 days in the absence of disease progression of unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up for 30 days.
