Abstract:
Cervical metastatic carcinoma from unknown primary lesion(CMCUP) usually refers to a malignant tumor confirmed by histological and pathological examination as cervical lymph node metastasis. However, after systematic medical history collection, physical examination, endoscopy, and imaging examinations, it is still unclear whether the primary lesion is cervical metastatic malignant tumor. Although with the development of examination techniques such as endoscopy and imaging, the detection of unknown primary lesions has been increasing year by year in recent years, there are still some cases where the primary lesion cannot be diagnosed through known examination methods. For the diagnosis and treatment of patients with unknown primary metastatic cancer in the neck, it is necessary to correctly identify clinical manifestations and use the least invasive approach to achieve diagnosis and treatment, avoiding inappropriate diagnostic methods. The current situation of standardized treatment is not optimistic, and there is an urgent need to pay attention to the standardized diagnosis and treatment of cervical metastatic cancer from unknown primary lesions. This article will focus on the key diagnostic and treatment issues and the latest progress of CMCUP clinical attention, providing reference for the standardized clinical diagnosis and treatment of cervical metastatic cancer from unknown primary lesions.
