Clinical trials: Methylation
Prostate Cancer Prevention
Chemoprevention of Prostate Cancer, HDAC Inhibition and DNA Methylation
The objective of the study is to identify mechanisms by which compounds found in cruciferous vegetables alter gene expression via epigenetic modifications (changes in gene expression) and may prevent prostate cancer development.
