Tumor origin test for metastatic cancer patients
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This trial uses a genetic test on a sample from your metastatic tumor to help identify where your cancer started. It may help guide your treatment decisions.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You have been diagnosed with cancer that has spread to another part of your body.
- The metastatic tumor has been confirmed as cancer through a biopsy.
- You have enough leftover tumor tissue from a past surgery or biopsy for genetic testing.
- You (or your legal guardian) understand the study and agree to take part.

This trial is for people with cancer of unknown primary (CUP), meaning cancer that started in an unknown place in the body. It aims to use advanced genomic testing (looking at your tumor's DNA) on your stored tumor sample and blood to find clues about where the cancer began and possible treatment options.
This study looks at your tumor’s genetic information to help doctors recommend treatment for cancers that have spread. It may help you get the most suitable therapy based on what’s found in your tumor.
This program gathers tumor samples to study their genetic and immune (immune-system) features across many types of advanced cancer. Your information and tumor testing may help researchers understand which tumor features are present and how they relate to cancer behavior.
This study uses gene testing on stored tumor tissue (and a blood sample) to help doctors recommend treatment options that may fit your tumor’s specific changes. It may also help avoid certain medicines and share your de-identified data with other researchers.
This study uses advanced DNA testing on tumor samples to help match cancer treatments more precisely. It may help researchers learn which cancer changes are driving your tumor and how they relate to treatment choices.
This trial is for people whose cancer started in an unknown place (cancer of unknown primary). It uses a special test called PaCIFiC-CUP to help classify the cancer, which may guide better treatment choices.
