Overview
There are no remarkable findings in the physical examination of CUP patients; the presentation is variable and depends on many factors including the primary tumor's origin and extent of organs involved.
Physical Examination
- There are no remarkable findings in the physical examination of CUP patients; the presentation is variable and depends on many factors including the primary tumor's origin and extent of organs involved.
- Usually patients with cancer of unknown origin present with involvement of multiple sites of metastases including bone, lung, liver, and lymph nodes.
- Physicians must conduct exhaustive physical examinations including head and neck, skin, genitourinary, breast, and rectal examinations.[1]
