Abstract
Over time, survival for patients with CUP increased for adenocarcinoma and for CUP of the pelvis, peritoneum and nervous system. Survival trends in CUP may be related to (1) similar trends in other common metastatic tumours, particularly pancreatic and hepatobiliary cancers, which are common 'hidden' primaries for CUP, (2) earlier detection and (3) advances in the management of metastatic cancers. The improvement in survival at specific locations suggests true therapeutic gains.
