Adenocarcinoma of unknown origin. A rational approach to a diagnostic puzzle

P S Kennedy et al. Postgrad Med. 1979 Jan.

Abstract

Determination of the tissue of origin of disseminated adenocarcinoma is often difficult. Careful clinical evaluation of the patient in light of known characteristics of certain primary tumors, followed by appropriate screening tests, may yield decisive information. If not, a decision for or against more specific tests must be made.
