Cancer of unknown primary (CUP) represents a heterogeneous group of metastatic tumors that lack an identifiable primary site despite an extensive diagnostic work-up. It is a well-recognized entity that is characterized by early dissemination, aggressive clinical course, unpredictable metastatic pattern, intrinsic treatment resistance, and a dismal prognosis. Despite the molecular diagnostic workup and personalized therapy, the expected improvements in the diagnosis and treatment of CUP have not been achieved. Comparative oncology has a promising role in the exchange of knowledge and practices between humans and canines. Therefore, we intended to review the literature reporting on CUP in dogs in order to identify some interesting parallels and unique results that could be transposed to in-human research. |
