Unknown primary tumour (UPT) is defined as a histologically confirmed metastatic malignancy for which no primary site has been detected. It accounts for approximately 3-5% of all malignant neoplasms. UPT represents a group of heterogeneous cancers with rapid progression and random, atypical metastases. This article describes the diagnostic strategies, treatment, prognosis and survival of patients with UPT.
未知原发肿瘤(UPT)被定义为经组织学证实的转移性恶性肿瘤,但其原发部位尚未被检测到。它约占所有恶性肿瘤的3%-5%。UPT代表一组异质性癌症,具有快速进展以及随机、非典型转移的特点。本文描述了UPT患者的诊断策略、治疗、预后和生存情况。
