9 May 2007
Abstract excerpt
The past decade has seen an explosion of interest in the epigenetics of cancer, with an increasing understanding that this form of genomic modification plays a critical role in pathogenesis. The malignant phenotype results from a step-wise increase of both genetic abnormalities and epigenetic modifications, leading to dysregulation of critical genes controlling cell growth, differentiation and apoptosis.
