  This study was supported by a grant from the State Committee for Scientific Research, Polish Ministry for Scientific Research and Information Technology, no 1423/P01/2007/32, 2007-2010 An accumulating body of evidence suggests that epigenetic mechanisms may contribute to cancer.Aberrant methylation which expands thorough tumor progression is potentially reversible, opening therefore new perspectives in cancer diagnosis and therapy.
