Abstract:
Carcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) is a diagnostic and therapeutic challenge in oncology.The early and correct detection of the primary tumors of CUP is very important to its diagnosis, treatment, therapeutic response evaluation and prognosis prediction.This review summarizes the implications and development of the imaging technologies, especially 18F-FDG PET/CT scan, in the diagnosis, treatment and prognosis prediction of CUP patients.
