Summary
Cancer of Unknown Primary (CUP) is a rare cancer where doctors cannot find where it started, and it is often deadly within months. This study will test a blood-based genomic test in 100 people with CUP to see if it can find genetic changes that point to new treatment options. The goal is to improve understanding of CUP and help patients access personalized therapies or clinical trials.
