Epigenetics in colorectal cancer

Abstract excerpt

Malignant transformation is now known to require a series of molecular alterations that disrupt a limited number of pathways including autocrine and paracrine responses to growth factors, cell-cycle control, senescence, motility, and invasion. Studies on hereditary cancers have established genetic changes as the primary driving force for these molecular alterations. Recently, however, it has been recognized that...
