abstract = {Rare cancers present significant challenges in diagnosis,
treatment, and research, accounting for up to $25\%$ of
global cancer cases. Due to their rarity and atypical
presentations, they are often misdiagnosed, resulting in
late-stage detection and poor outcomes. Here, we describe a
patient case with advanced metastatic nasopharynx NUT
carcinoma, one of the rarest and most aggressive cancers. We
conducted a comprehensive analysis of this patient's tumor,
including Tumor Mutation Burden, Microsatellite Instability,
and genetic profiling to explore further putative druggable
targets. The tumor exhibited high PD-L1 expression and
showed a notable response to immune checkpoint inhibitors
when combined with platinum-based radio-chemotherapy. Our
findings indicate that checkpoint inhibitors could play a
critical role in treating NUT carcinoma, offering new
therapeutic avenues and hope for patients with this
challenging diagnosis. Whether PD-L1 expression may be a
useful predictor of immune checkpoint inhibitor efficacy
warrants further research.},
