Cancer Epigenetics
Cancer Epigenetics is the study of Epigenetic modification of the genome of Cancer cell that do not change the DNA sequence. Epigenetics alteration are important for prevention, detection and treatment of cancer. There are two primary Epigenetic mechanism -DNA methylation and covalent modification of histones. The specific Epigenetic profiles as tool to diagnose individuals type of cancer are more specific and accurate. Different Epigenetic profile is used to determine the stage of development of a Cancer in a patient.
