From the reviews:“This book provides a clear description of the epigenetic changes in cancer that are important in early detection, progression, and prognosis, as well as the design of therapeutic tools necessary to combat cancer. … This is an excellent resource for scientists and oncologists interested in learning about currently available technologies to detect epigenetic changes that serve as biomarkers in detection of early cancerous lesions as well as markers of cancer progression and prognosis.” (Omer Iqbal, Doody’s Book Reviews, August, 2012)
