The treatment of cancer of unknown primary (CUP) is a huge challenge for clinicians. Gene expression profiling can help identify the tissue origin of tumors by detecting the expression levels of specific genes in tumor tissues. Herein, we report four CUP cases. All of them have been successfully identified with the corresponding primary tumor sites through gene expression profiling analysis. Then all patients received accurate treatment, providing reference to guide therapeutic decisions to treat CUP tumors in the future.
原发灶不明癌症(CUP)的治疗对临床医生来说是一项巨大挑战。基因表达谱分析可通过检测肿瘤组织中特定基因的表达水平来帮助识别肿瘤的组织起源。在此,我们报告4例CUP病例。通过基因表达谱分析,所有病例均成功确定了相应的原发肿瘤部位。随后所有患者均接受了精准治疗,为未来指导CUP肿瘤的治疗决策提供了参考。
