NRCs arise from midline structures in young people, and NRCs with BRD4-NUT are highly lethal, despite intensive therapies. NUT-variant carcinomas might have a less fulminant clinical course than those with BRD4-NUT fusions. CD34 expression is characteristic in NRCs and, therefore, holds promise as a diagnostic test for this distinctive clinicopathologic entity.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
