1. Patients, aged = 18 years, with a diagnosis of histologically confirmed non resectable stage III or IV advanced melanoma or Renal Cell Carcinoma (RCC) 2. Patients with a minimum of two lesions, one of which must be measurable 3. At least one tumor lesion accessible for bioptic sampling. 4. Prior lines (maximum 4) of chemotherapy, immunotherapy or biological therapy for advanced disease are allowed (patients must have finished prior treatments at least 4 weeks before the first IL2 dose); 5. Good performance status (ECOG performance status =1 ) and adequate organ function: - leukocytes >3,500/microL - absolute neutrophil count >1,500/microL - platelets >100,000/microL - total bilirubin within normal institutional limits - AST(SGOT)/ALT(SGPT) <2.5 X ULN - creatinine <1,2 mg/dl - hemoglobin >9.0 gm/dl - ECG and echocardiogram within normal institutional limits - pulmonary function tests within normal institutional limits (to be performed only in patients with lung metastases or history of impaired lung function) 6. No contraindication for the use of vasopressor agents 7. An estimated survival of at least 3 months.

Uncontrolled intercurrent illness including ongoing or active infection, symptomatic congestive heart failure, unstable angina pectoris, cardiac arrhythmia, or psychiatric illness/social situations that would limit compliance with study requirements. 9. Other malignant neoplasia with a disease-free interval of less than 5 years (except for previously treated basal cell carcinoma and in situ carcinoma of the uterine cervix) 10. HIV-positivity

- Primary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Main Objective: 1. to determine the tumor antigen-specific immune response induced by the treatment 2. to prospectively determine the predictive/prognostic value of pretreatment biological features in identifying patients who will benefit from HDIL-2-based therapy;Secondary Objective: 1. Toxicity 2. Response Rate 3. Overall Survival.;Primary end point(s): 1) immunological efficacy, as assessed by quantification of circulating immune effectors specific for a selected panel of tumor antigens. 2) predictive value of pretreatment serum biomarkers in identifying patients who will benefit from high dose IL-2 based therapy.;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 36 months
- Secondary Outcome Measures
Name Time Method Secondary end point(s): Secondary endpoints will be toxicity, the response rate (RR) and the overall survival (OS).;Timepoint(s) of evaluation of this end point: 36 months
