Abstract excerpt
The clinical management of patients with cancer of unknown primary (CUP) is hampered by the absence of a definitive site of origin. We explored the utility of massively-parallel (next-generation) sequencing for the diagnosis of a primary site of origin and for the identification of novel treatment options. DNA enrichment by hybridization capture of 701 genes of clinical and/or biological importance, followed by...
