Epigenetic Cancer Therapy, Second Edition, is a comprehensive exploration of healthy and aberrant epigenetic biology, encompassing a wide range of topics. It delves into the latest discoveries aimed at enhancing our understanding of cancer epigenetics and therapeutics. The book encompasses significant intergovernmental initiatives and cutting-edge research across cancer stem cells, rational drug design, clinical trials, and chemopreventative strategies. It serves as a valuable resource in elevating epigenetics as a promising therapeutic approach for managing cancer in the future.

Since the first edition of this book was published, the field of epigenetics has witnessed remarkable advancements. New epigenetic therapies have been developed and approved for clinical use, expanding our understanding of the epigenome's plasticity in cancer and disease. There is growing evidence linking pollution to epigenetic alterations in cancer development, underscoring the importance of addressing these changes.

To reflect these developments, this second edition has been thoroughly revised and updated. It encompasses promising therapeutic programs such as CRISPR/Cas9-mediated approaches, CAR-T-based therapies, epigenetic priming, histone modifications, and other transformative advancements in synthetic biology and cellular engineering.

By presenting a comprehensive and up-to-date account of epigenetic cancer therapy, Second Edition serves as a valuable resource for researchers, clinicians, and healthcare professionals alike. It provides a deeper understanding of epigenetic mechanisms and their implications in cancer development, paving the way for innovative and personalized treatment strategies.
