Humana Cancer Epigenetics for Precision Medicine - Vol 1856

Explore the complex landscape of epigenetic changes in oncology with this specialized volume from the Methods in Molecular Biology series. This book provides a detailed look at epigenetic modifications found in early carcinogenic lesions and various tumor types. It examines how external factors like diet, alcohol consumption, immunity, and circadian rhythms can alter the epigenome and its profile. Researchers and medical professionals will find valuable information on specific applications, including epigenome-based precision medicine for lung cancer and the relationship between genetic and epigenetic changes in breast cancer subtypes. The text also covers the genetic regulation of the PDCD1 gene in cancer immunology and technical methods such as pyrosequencing methylation analysis. This resource serves as a comprehensive guide for understanding how epigenetic regulation impacts cancer development and treatment strategies.
