Abstract excerpt
During cancer initiation and progression, the somatic epigenome is broadly reprogrammed. This reprogramming can be a consequence of several processes, including altered transcriptional profiles and mutations.

For instance, tumor infiltrating T cells frequently exhibit an exhausted phenotype characterized by...
