Official Title: A PHASE I/II STUDY OF INTRATUMORAL INJECTION OF IPILIMUMAB IN COMBINATION WITH LOCAL RADIATION IN MELANOMA, NON-HODGKIN LYMPHOMA AND COLORECTAL CARCINOMA

Brief Summary: This pilot phase I/II trial studies the side effects and best of dose ipilimumab when given together with local radiation therapy and to see how well it works in treating patients with recurrent melanoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, colon, or rectal cancer. Monoclonal antibodies, such as ipilimumab, can block cancer growth in different ways. Some block the ability of cancer cells to grow and spread. Others find cancer cells and help kill them or carry cancer-killing substances to them. Radiation therapy uses high energy x rays to kill cancer cells. Giving monoclonal antibody therapy together with radiation therapy may be an effective treatment for melanoma, non-Hodgkin lymphoma, colon, or rectal cancer
