Special Issue Information
Dear Colleagues,
Epigenetic alterations seem to play an important role during the development and progression of several types of cancers. Of current interest are all epigenetic mechanisms, such as shifts in DNA methylation patterns or alterations in microRNA expression, that contribute to the the progression of cancer.
