Cancer of unknown primary site
(2012)Cancer of unknown primary site (CUP) is a well recognised clinical disorder, accounting for 3-5 of all malignant epithelial tumours. CUP is clinically characterised as an aggressive disease with early dissemination. ...

Cancer of unknown primary site: Missing primary or missing biology?
(2007)Cancer of unknown primary site (CUP) ranks as the fourth most common cause of cancer deaths and represents both a diagnostic and a management challenge. In CUP, the regression or dormancy of the primary tumor, the development ...

Global microRNA profiling in favorable prognosis subgroups of cancer of unknown primary (CUP) demonstrates no significant expression differences with metastases of matched known primary tumors
(2013)No data exist on biologic differences between Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) and metastatic solid tumors of known primary site. We assigned a primary tissue of origin in 40 favorable CUP patients (A: serous peritoneal ...

Insights into the epithelial mesenchymal transition phenotype in cancer of unknown primary from a global microRNA profiling study
(2014)Purpose: We sought to study the microRNA regulation of epithelial mesenchymal transition (EMT), the acquisition of migratory, mesenchymal-like properties of epithelial cells, in cancer of unknown primary (CUP). Patients ...

Molecular assignment of tissue of origin in cancer of unknown primary may not predict response to therapy or outcome: A systematic literature review
(2009)Background: Gene expression profiling platforms were recently shown to accurately assign cancer of unknown primary (CUP) to a primary tissue of origin, with unknown impact on patient outcome. We examined chemotherapy ...

Switching benchmarks in cancer of unknown primary: From autopsy to microarray
(2007)Introduction: Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) is associated with unknown biology and dismal prognosis. Information on the primary site of origin is scant and has never been analysed. We systematically reviewed all published ...
