Summary Introduction
To review:
The reason for the apparent anomaly of the cancer cells to constitute both the hypomethylated and hypermethylated DNA (deoxyribonucleic acid) in the same cell.
Introduction:
Cancer epigenetics is a study of the epigenetic remodeling of the cancer cells. Epigenetics is the study of factors that contribute to the gene expression but do not modify the

- Because the degree of DNA methylation appears to be a relatively reliable genetic marker for some forms of cancer, researchers have explored the possibility of altering DNA methylation as a form of cancer therapy. Initial studies indicate that while hypomethylation suppresses the formation of some tumors, other tumors thrive.
