Paraneoplastic syndromes in cancers of unknown primary: An unknown field for oncologists

Prediction of Primary Tumors in Cancers of Unknown Primary.

A cancer of unknown primary (CUP) is a metastatic cancer for which standard diagnostic tests fail to identify the location of the primary tumor. CUPs account for 3-5% of cancer cases. Using molecular data to determine the location of the primary tumor in such cases can help doctors make the right treatment choice and thus improve the clinical outcome.
