This is a non-randomized Phase II study. Patients determined at initial diagnosis to have a carcinoma of unknown primary site will have their treatment selected with the use of a molecular profiling assay. A molecular profiling assay will be performed on paraffin-embedded tumor tissue from a biopsy specimen. Patients given specific diagnoses (e.g., lung, pancreas, colon, breast, renal cell, prostate and ovarian cancer) will receive treatment regimens of proven activity. If no specific diagnosis is made with the molecular profiling assay, empiric chemotherapy with paclitaxel, carboplatin, bevacizumab and erlotinib will be administered.
Patients in all subgroups will be evaluated for response to treatment after completing 2 cycles. Standard, disease specific, restaging methods will be employed. Patients with objective response or stable disease will continue treatment, with subsequent re-evaluations after every 2 cycles of therapy.

Physician Impairment
The physician's inability to practice medicine with reasonable skill and safety to the patient due to the physician's disability. Common causes include alcohol and drug abuse, mental illness, physical disability, and senility.
Iatrogenic Disease
Any adverse condition in a patient occurring as the result of treatment by a physician, surgeon, or other health professional, especially infections acquired by the patient during the course of treatment.
Multifactorial Inheritance
