Epigenetic Cancer Therapy unites issues central to a translational audience actively seeking to understand the topic. It is ideal for cancer specialists, including oncologists and clinicians, but also provides valuable information for researchers, academics, students, governments, and decision-makers in the healthcare sector.
The text covers the basic background of the epigenome, aberrant epigenetics, and its potential as a target for cancer therapy, and includes individual chapters on the state of epigenome knowledge in specific cancers (including lung, breast, prostate, liver).
The book encompasses both large-scale intergovernmental initiatives as well as recent findings across cancer stem cells, rational drug design, clinical trials, and chemopreventative strategies. As a whole, the work articulates and raises the profile of epigenetics as a therapeutic option in the future management of cancer.

Epigenetics represents a unique potential therapeutic vista that is emerging at a critical time, and as it has been suggested that a 1% reduction in cancer deaths would be worth $500 billion to the USA, almost 2.5 times what it spends annually on this disease. Uniting issues central to a translational audience, Epigenetic Cancer Therapy is indispensable reading for cancer specialists and oncologists, clinicians, researchers, academics, students, government bodies, and decision makers in the healthcare sector.
