For example, imaging tests can show if the cancer has spread. Imaging tests show pictures of the inside of the body. Doctors may also do tests to learn which treatments could work best.

By its very nature, cancer of unknown primary (CUP) is found after it has spread to another part of the body from where it started, which is called metastasis. Therefore, doctors use many tests to try to find where in the body the cancer began, called the primary site. Some tests may also determine which treatments may be most effective.
