Inclusion Criteria:

          -  Measurable metastatic cancer that expresses NY ESO-1 as assessed by one of the
             following methods: reverse transcriptase-polymerase chain reaction (RT-PCR) on tumor
             tissue, or by immunohistochemistry of resected tissue, or serum antibody reactive with
             ESO

          -  Confirmation of diagnosis of metastatic cancer by the Laboratory of Pathology at the
             Montefiore Medical Center

          -  Patients must have previously received systemic standard care (or effective salvage
             chemotherapy regimens) for metastatic disease, if known to be effective for that
             disease, and have been either non-responders (progressive disease) or have recurred

          -  3 or fewer brain metastases; Note: if lesions are symptomatic or greater than or equal
             to 1 cm each, these lesions must have been treated and stable for 3 months for the
             patient to be eligible

          -  More than four weeks must have elapsed since any prior systemic therapy at the time
             the patient receives the preparative regimen, and patients' toxicities must have
             recovered to a grade 1 or less (except for toxicities such as alopecia or vitiligo);
             Note: patients may have undergone minor surgical procedures within the past 3 weeks,
             as long as all toxicities have recovered to grade 1 or less or as specified in the
             eligibility criteria

          -  Eight weeks must have elapsed from the time of any antibody therapy that could affect
             an anti-cancer immune response, including anti-cytotoxic T-lymphocyte-associated
             protein 4 (CTLA 4) therapy, at the time the patient receives the preparative regimen
             to allow antibody levels to decline; Note: patients who have previously received
             ipilimumab and have documented gastrointestinal (GI) toxicity must have a normal
             colonoscopy with normal colonic biopsies

          -  Willing to sign a durable power of attorney

          -  Able to understand and sign the informed consent document

          -  Clinical performance status of Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) 0 or 1

          -  Life expectancy of greater than three months

          -  Patients must be HLA-A*0201 positive

          -  Patients of both genders must be willing to practice birth control from the time of
             enrollment on this study and for up to four months after cells are no longer detected
             in the blood

          -  Serology:

               -  Seronegative for human immunodeficiency virus (HIV) antibody; (the experimental
                  treatment being evaluated in this protocol depends on an intact immune system;
                  patients who are HIV seropositive can have decreased immune-competence and thus
                  be less responsive to the experimental treatment and more susceptible to its
                  toxicities)

               -  Seronegative for hepatitis B antigen, and seronegative for hepatitis C antibody;
                  if hepatitis C antibody test is positive, then patient must be tested for the
                  presence of antigen by RT-PCR and be hepatitis C virus (HCV) ribonucleic acid
                  (RNA) negative

          -  Women of child-bearing potential must have a negative pregnancy test because of the
             potentially dangerous effects of the treatment on the fetus

          -  Absolute neutrophil count greater than 1000/mm^3 without the support of filgrastim

          -  White blood cell (WBC) >= 3000/mm^3

          -  Platelet count >= 100,000/mm^3

          -  Hemoglobin > 8.0 g/dl

          -  Serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT)/aspartate aminotransferase (AST) =< to 2.5 times
             the upper limit of normal

          -  Serum creatinine =< to 1.6 mg/dl

          -  Total bilirubin =< to 1.5 mg/dl, except in patients with Gilbert's Syndrome who must
             have a total bilirubin less than 3.0 mg/dl

        Exclusion Criteria:

          -  Women of child-bearing potential who are pregnant or breastfeeding because of the
             potentially dangerous effects of the treatment on the fetus or infant

             the cardiovascular, respiratory or immune system, myocardial infarction, cardiac
             arrhythmias, obstructive or restrictive pulmonary disease

          -  Concurrent opportunistic infections (the experimental treatment being evaluated in
             this protocol depends on an intact immune system; patients who have decreased immune
             competence may be less responsive to the experimental treatment and more susceptible
             to its toxicities)
