Nuclear protein in testis carcinoma of the lung

Nuclear protein in testis (NUT) carcinoma is a kind of highly aggressive and fatal solid tumor characterized by a rearrangement of the NUT carcinoma family member 1 (NUTM1) gene located on chromosome 15 q l4, where the most common form of fusion is BRD4-NUT. NUT carcinoma occurred in different organ...

description Nuclear protein in testis (NUT) carcinoma is a kind of highly aggressive and fatal solid tumor characterized by a rearrangement of the NUT carcinoma family member 1 (NUTM1) gene located on chromosome 15 q l4, where the most common form of fusion is BRD4-NUT. NUT carcinoma occurred in different organs and was most commonly found in the midline organs and the lungs. NUT carcinoma can occur in patients of almost all ages, having a roughly consistent incidence in both sexes. Most of the patients were diagnosed in advanced stages with an extremely poor prognosis due to the lack of effective treatment. After years of research, the mechanism of NUT carcinoma is still not fully clear, and its therapeutic approaches need to be further studied and explored. In order to gain a more comprehensive understanding of NUT carcinoma and explore the effective treatments, this review aimed to summarize the clinical features, pathological characteristics, differential diagnosis, and treatment strategies for this disease.
