Background. Molecular genetic studies of ovarian cancer have been limited by the inaccessible location of the ovary, the advanced stage of tumors available for analysis, and the lack of a well-defined precursor lesion. However, genetic alterations important in ovarian tumorigenesis have been identif

## Abstract Epigenetics is concerned about heritable changes in gene expression without alteration of the coding sequence. Epigenetic modification of chromatin includes methylation of genomic DNA as well as postβtranslational modification of chromatinβassociated proteins, in particular, histones. T
In the United States, over 51,000 new cases of urinary bladder tumors are diagnosed annually. Approximately 75-85% of all newly diagnosed cases are superficial transitional cell carcinomas (TCCs). Incidence is highest (80% of the cases) in the 50-79 year age group. Recent studies have reported that
