Abstract excerpt
PURPOSE: Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) accounts for 2-5% of all cancer diagnoses, wherein standard investigations fail to reveal the original tumor site. Basket trials allocate targeted therapeutics based on actionable somatic mutations, independent of tumor entity. These trials, however, mostly rely on variants identified in tissue biopsies. Since liquid biopsies (LB) represent the overall tumor genomic...
