Résumé : Breast cancer remains the first cause of cancer-related mortality in women. This can be explained by the high histological and molecular heterogeneity of the disease, making it hard to choose a therapy adapted to each patient. Over this last year, several groups have evaluated the epigenetic component of breast cancer, as epigenetics appears to be important in carcinogenesis. Results suggest that assessing the epigenetic aspects of breast tumours could strongly improve our understanding of the biology and heterogeneity of breast cancers.
