An Introduction to Epigenetics of Cancer, Edition 1

Epigenetics plays a crucial role in cancer development, offering insights into how gene expression is regulated beyond DNA sequence changes. An Introduction to Epigenetics of Cancer explores the fundamental principles of epigenetic modifications, including DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNAs, and their impact on tumor initiation, progression, and therapy resistance. This book delves into the mechanisms by which epigenetic alterations contribute to oncogenesis and highlights emerging diagnostic and therapeutic strategies targeting the epigenome. Designed for researchers, clinicians, and students, this book provides a comprehensive yet accessible overview of the dynamic and reversible nature of epigenetic regulation in cancer, emphasizing its potential for innovative treatments and personalized medicine.
