Reviews
This book presents an up-to-date and thorough overview of cancer of
unknown primary, encompassing topics ranging from epidemiology, tumor
biology, and prognostic factors through to the most recent diagnostic and
therapeutic advances. All aspects of management are covered, including
radiological, nuclear medicine, and pathological diagnosis, site-specific
therapies, platinum-based combination chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and novel
targeted treatments. Clear guidance is offered on diagnosis of the tissue
of origin by means of gene expression and micro-RNA analyses and its
therapeutic implications. Detailed directions are also provided on the
identification of subsets of patients with a more favorable prognosis, in
whom specific treatment offers the chance of long-term survival or even
cure. Readers will find Cancer of Unknown Primary to be an ideal source of
practically oriented information that will assist in delivery of the best
possible care for patients with this challenging diagnosis.
