Exploring the Cancer Epigenome Insights into Disease Mechanisms

Abstract

Farahn Saeed*

Cancer remains one of the most challenging health concerns worldwide, with its complexity spanning across multiple dimensions, including genetic and epigenetic factors. While significant strides have been made in understanding the genetic basis of cancer, the role of epigenetics, particularly the cancer epigenome, has gained prominence in recent years. The cancer epigenome refers to alterations in the epigenetic landscape of cancer cells, which play a crucial role in driving tumorigenesis and disease progression. In this article, we delve into the intricate world of the cancer epigenome, exploring its mechanisms and the insights it offers into cancer biology.
