NUTM1-Rearranged Thyroid Carcinoma is an extremely rare and aggressive cancer of the thyroid gland. The thyroid is a small, butterfly-shaped gland located in the front of the neck that helps control the body’s metabolism, energy levels, and growth.
In this condition, the cancer cells contain an abnormal genetic change involving the NUTM1 gene, where it becomes fused or rearranged with another gene. This genetic rearrangement causes the thyroid cells to lose normal control over growth and division, leading to fast-growing cancer.
Many sufferers of NUTM1-Rearranged Thyroid 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 NUTM1-Rearranged Thyroid Carcinoma. We have recently created an NUTM1-Rearranged Thyroid 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.
