Abstract

NUT midline carcinoma, a squamous cell carcinoma, is one of the most aggressive human cancers, and there is a desperate need for effective therapies for patients with this disease. Will the new bromodomain and extra terminal (BET) inhibitors prove to be one such treatment for this rare and enigmatic cancer?
