| Abstract | Problem: Histologic and immunohistologic workup of tumor material from metastases of a previously unknown primary tumor is important for identifying their origin, but is often insufficient for this purpose without clinical oncologic and radiologic evaluation. Procedure: In the initial cancer of unknown primary (CUP) situation, histologic and immunohistochemical workup together with clinicoradiologic correlations contribute significantly to the identification of the primary tumor. There are now accepted guidelines to follow when there is an initial CUP situation. Molecular diagnostic tools can be used to investigate changes at the nucleic acid level, which can provide clues about the primary tumor, including potential targets for therapy. If, despite broad and interdisciplinary diagnostics, it is not possible to identify the primary tumor, the diagnosis is CUP syndrome. If a true CUP situation is present, it is important to assign the tumor to a tumor class or a specific therapy-sensitive subgroup as best as possible so that the best possible treatment can be given. However, for a final assignment to a primary tumor or a final classification as CUP, a comparison with medical oncological and imaging findings is indispensable. Conclusion: When CUP is suspected, close interdisciplinary collaboration between pathology, medical oncology, and imaging is essential to achieve a viable classification as CUP or identification of a presumptive primary tumor, in the interest of providing the most specific and effective therapy for affected individuals. |
