Genetics and Epigenetics of Breast Cancer (EPUB)

Book Description

This book by Madhumita Roy, Jaydip Biswas, and Amitava Datta discusses the role of genetics and epigenetics alterations in the initiation, development, and recurrence of breast cancer. It reviews the potential of translating epigenetic alterations into diagnosis, prognosis, and breast cancer therapy. The initial chapters explore epigenetics, etiology, and conventional treatment strategies for breast cancer. The subsequent chapters discuss the genetic landscape and cover three main epigenetic modulation mechanisms, namely, histone modification, DNA methylation, and miRNA silencing. Additionally, the book explores the potential of epigenetic drugs in treating breast cancer and covers phytochemical targeting of epigenetic modulators in breast cancer treatment. The book is an essential source for researchers and practitioners interested in exploring the potential of epigenetics modulators in breast cancer treatment.
