      abstract = {Epigenetic alterations are heritable changes that play a  key role in human development and tissue-specific gene  expression patterns. These changes can lead to alterations  involved in tumor formation, imprinting, and metabolic  disorders. Recent advances can help us understand the  importance of epigenetic changes in both cancer development  and tumor progression. In addition, epigenetic alterations  may also be useful diagnostic and prognostic markers for  the analysis of tumor progression. Split into two parts,  the book opens with a comprehensive overview of the  identification and analysis of epigenetic changes in cancer  and the consequences of such changes during tumor  development. The second part focusses on cancer specific  epigenetic alterations and discusses the potential use of  epigenetic markers as biomarkers in diagnosis, early cancer  progression, and prognosis. Moreover, it reviews the  therapeutic potential of epigenetic drugs. Given its scope,  Cancer Epigenetics is an indispensable resource not only  for researchers working in the field of human epigenetics  and cancer research but also for advanced students seeking  for an introduction into epigenetic mechanisms. .},
