It is generally reported that unknown primary tumours account for 5–10% of all neoplasms, and that they tend to have an unfavourable prognosis Unknown Primary Tumours (ICD-O-9 codes 196–199) Survival curves for biopsy-proven (n=543) and clinically diagnosed (n=156) unknown primary malignant tumours: Vaud and Neuchatel, Switzerland, 1984–1993 (1.7%; 2.3% of all sites, excluding 173) From Levi F et al.

Conclusions (1) For unknown primary tumours, hospital discharge data are crucial in clinical care, especially when they are included in the framework of a hospital-based cancer registry (HCR). Even though HCR is not suitable to compute population incidence or prevalence data, it is a valid tool for hospital administration.
