NUT Carcinoma is a very rare and aggressive form of cancer that can start almost anywhere in the body, though it most often appears in the head, neck, or chest area. The name “NUT” comes from a specific gene (NUTM1) that changes or joins with another gene inside the cancer cells. This genetic change causes the cells to multiply rapidly and lose control over their normal growth, which makes this cancer spread quickly.
Many sufferers of NUT Carcinoma struggle because they feel that their disease doesn’t have the same level of awareness as more common cancers. Without a Ribbon is an Australian non-profit organisation that believes that rare cancers should never go unnoticed. We aim to provide a detailed set of resources and information for anyone suffering from cancers such as NUT Carcinoma. We have recently created an NUT Carcinoma resource page to help sufferers understand their disease. It covers the symptoms, available treatments and other important information.
We hope that this resource page will help you or a friend/family member to learn about their illness and aid them through their battle with the disease.
