1/ In JCO: PO, we describe the presentation of NUT carcinoma- it almost always presents as a poorly differentiated/ squamous lung, head and neck cancer, with a mean biopsy to diagnosis interval of 7 weeks (!)

Study Paves Path to Improved Diagnosis, Treatment of NUT Carcinoma
The diagnosis of a suspected lung, head, and neck cancer called NUT carcinoma should include additional testing capable of detecting gene fusions that are definitive markers of the disease, according to a study by Dana-Farber Cancer Institute investigators. The study showed that more than 75 percent of patients with NUT carcinoma may not be immediately diagnosed because standard-of-care DNA testing does not detect NUT carcinoma fusion genes.

1/ In Clinical Cancer Research, we examined underdiagnosis of NUT carcinoma, an aggressive squamous lung, head and neck cancer, and found >75% are missed on standard of care testing (DNA panel NGS)
