: The number of studies on the diagnostic strategy and chosen treatment in daily practice for patients with CUP is limited. Furthermore, valuable information on the diagnostic pathway of these patients including imaging studies and the considerations in choice of therapy are currently lacking. Therefore, the aim of this study was to investigate diagnostic procedures and to identify predictive factors for treatment of patients diagnosed with CUP. Providing insight in the diagnostic process and patient treatment will help to understand the care, as well as the obstacles in the current healthcare for CUP patients.
