miRview mets is designed to accurately identify the primary tumor site in patients presenting with metastatic cancer, as well as in patients whose tumor has not been identified and consequently has been labeled Cancer of Unknown Primary (CUP).
3) To our knowledge, there are few reported cases of cancer of unknown primary site that were found to have metastasized to the cutaneous-subcutaneous anterior abdominal wall and no cases presenting as an isolated intramuscular abdominal wall mass.
Studies have shown the accuracy rate for this test to be 87 percent, which is much higher than the 20 percent to 30 percent accuracy rate achieved with traditional methods of cancer of unknown primary classification.
