Epigenetics of Cervical Cancer

Abstract

This book focuses on the fundamentals of epigenetics, covering the roles of DNA methylation, histone modifications, and non-coding RNA, especially miRNA and lncRNA, in cervical cancer. The chapters discuss various methods to detect epigenetic changes and how these changes could be useful for diagnosis, prognosis, as well as epigenetic therapy. Further chapters address the up-to-date approaches and solutions to the parameterizing bottlenecks associated with the translation of these findings for the management of cervical cancer. The book is supplemented with figures and tables to aid conceptual understanding. The book is relevant for researchers, academicians, scientists, as well as medical students seeking to understand the fundamentals of cervical cancer based on environmental or genetic factors.
