Stacy, if you look at the NCCN Guidelines available on this site (see link below) and look up the Occult Primary pages, you will see that radiation or chemo/radiation to the most likely primary site is recommended.

Printing these guidelines had discussing them make a good starting point for discussion.

Best wishes,
