PRIMARY OBJECTIVES: I. To determine the feasibility and tolerability of beta-adrenergic blockade in patients with metastatic or locally advanced cancer. II. To determine the effects of beta-adrenergic blockade on the tumor microenvironment and host immune system via a series of correlative laboratory studies using cancer tumor tissue and peripheral blood mononuclear cells from the study patients. SECONDARY OBJECTIVES: I. Evaluate the effects of beta-adrenergic blockade on progression-free survival and overall survival. OUTLINE: Patients receive propranolol hydrochloride orally (PO) twice daily (BID) for 4 months in the absence of disease progression or unacceptable toxicity. After completion of study treatment, patients are followed up every 3 months for up to 1 year.
