Abstract
The current evidence does not support the hypothesis that palliative chemotherapy improves survival and/or quality of life in CUP patients who do not fit into any of the favorable sub-sets. Therefore, only low-toxicity empirical chemotherapy regimens should be offered to patients with a good performance status, and quality of life issues should be given priority for any choice of treatment.
