Genetics and Epigenetics Key Drivers of Cancer Development

Abstract

Sergio Caprio*

Cancer is a complex disease characterized by uncontrolled cell growth and proliferation. Over the years, extensive research has shed light on the intricate interplay of genetic and epigenetic factors contributing to cancer development. Understanding the roles of genetics and epigenetics in cancer is crucial for devising effective diagnostic and therapeutic strategies. This article explores the fundamentals of genetics and epigenetics in the context of cancer, highlighting their pivotal roles as key drivers of oncogenesis.
