Inclusion criteria

* had a diagnosis of cancer of unknown primary (CUP) after a standard evaluation (medical history, physical examination, blood counts, chemistry profile, chest/abdomen computed tomography scans, positron emission tomography scan, and directed evaluation of all symptomatic areas). Patients were required to have one of the following histologies: adenocarcinoma, poorly differentiated neoplasms, poorly differentiated carcinoma, squamous carcinoma. Sufficient archived biopsy tissue from a surgical or core needle biopsy was required to perform the molecular profiling assay. Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of 0 to 2; no previous systemic therapy; measurable or evaluable disease (RECIST); and adequate organ function.

Exclusion criteria

* carcinoma limited to single site which can be potentially cured by surgery of radiotherapy.patients with symptomatic brain metastases, active clinical severe infection
