Summary
This pilot phase I trial studies the side effects and best way to give stereotactic body
radiation therapy and T-cell infusion in treating patients with metastatic kidney cancer.
Giving total body irradiation before a T-cell infusion stops the growth of cancer cells by
stopping them from dividing or killing them. After treatment, stem cells are collected from
the patient's blood and stored. Chemotherapy is given to prepare the bone marrow for the stem
cell transplant. The stem cells are then returned to the patient to replace the blood-forming
cells that were destroyed by the radiation therapy.
