NUT Carcinoma
NUT carcinoma, also known as NUT midline carcinoma, is a rare type of cancer that can form anywhere in the body, but is usually found in the lungs, head, or neck.
Nut carcinoma grows from the squamous cells in the body, which are cells that make up the skin and lining of some organs, like the lungs and stomach. The cancer is aggressive and can spread quickly to other parts of the body.
