Without knowing the primary or the type of primary tumour, it becomes very difficult for the oncologist to plan treatment for theĀ  patients. Despite exhaustive investigations, 5% of all cancer patients (and 70% of MUOs) and still have an unidentified primary tumour. due to this high rate of failure to identify the primary or the type of primary tumour, coupled with the fact that prognosis is very poor in these patients, one should only try to eliminate the most treatable tujmours (e.g. breast, ovarian, Testicular Carcinoma).</td></tr></tbody></table> ER -
