About CupPrint®*
This test is intended for patients with a Cancer of Unknown Primary, which represents around 4% of all cancers. For these patients, assessing the origin of the primary tumor, which guides treatment, is challenging by conventional techniques and often a lengthy process. CupPrint can assist in identifying the primary tumor site, which can support the doctor in deciding on the optimal treatment of the patient. CupPrint® is available in Europe through the sales network of Agendia.
