About brd4NutCancer.com
Our research mission is focused on a rare but highly malignant cancer of children and young adults termed BRD4-NUT carcinoma, which usually arises within midline structures of the head, neck, or trunk, such as the mediastinum, upper airways, and bladder. This cancer is often mistaken for other types of tumors, but is clinically distinct in its highly aggressive behavior. In the cases we have identified to date, the mortality rate is close to 100%, and the median survival is only around 6 months.
