Summary

This study looks at using a blood test (liquid biopsy) to analyze DNA from cancer cells in people with Cancer of Unknown Primary (CUP), where the original cancer site is unknown. The goal is to find genetic changes that could guide personalized treatment or clinical trial options. About 100 adults with CUP will provide blood samples to see if this approach can improve care for this hard-to-treat cancer.
