dc.description.abstractCarcinoma of unknown primary (CUP) is associated with high rates of morbidity and mortality. We report a case of a 33-year-old female, diagnosed with CUP, after presenting with gradual onset worsening lower back pain. Immunohistochemistry, blood tests, further investigations, and Multidisciplinary team meetings failed to identify the primary malignancy. This is not an uncommon pathway for patients with CUP. This report highlights how CUP can affect the quality of life of patients and how management for CUP should be focused on enhancing Quality of Life (QOL). It also addresses the difficulty of identifying which group of patients may benefit from further investigations to identify the primary and thus receive target treatment therapy.en
