About the Cancer of Unknown Primary Service (CUP)
Referral accepted from Primary Care although most referrals generated from Secondary Care
The consultants endeavour to see patients promptly although there is no formal ‘two-week wait ” route currently
All referrals discussed at the CUP MDT meeting and advice given to the referring team (GP or Hospital Consultant) on an investigation and management plan, including symptom control and the provision of information
All new CUP referrals are discussed at the CUP MDT meeting held on the 1st, 3rd & 5th Friday morning of each month. UHCW hosts the MDT for both GEH and SWFT
If GPs are concerned about patients where there is a suspicion of a CUP diagnosis the team is happy to discuss directly, ideally early in the diagnostic pathway to guide appropriate investigations
