Cancer is a genetic and epigenetic disease. Epigenetic modifications, unlike genetic mutations, are reversible and offer potential for new anticancer drugs and diagnostic markers.

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Molecular Biology
  • Genetics

Context:

  • Cancer research has historically focused on genetic alterations.
  • Recent advancements reveal cancer's dual genetic and epigenetic nature.
  • Epigenetic modifications are crucial in cancer initiation and progression.

Purpose:

  • To highlight the evolving understanding of carcinogenesis.
  • To emphasize the role of epigenetic modifications in cancer.
  • To discuss the therapeutic and diagnostic potential of epigenetic alterations.

Summary:

  • Carcinogenesis is now understood as a complex process involving both genetic and epigenetic factors.
  • Epigenetic changes, such as DNA methylation, influence the expression of genes regulating the cell cycle.
