Cancer's earliest warning signs can be seen even before birth, scientists reveal

A groundbreaking study has identified two distinct epigenetic states formed during early development that determine cancer susceptibility throughout life. Researchers found that one state is linked to a lower cancer risk, while the other corresponds to a higher risk and could influence the type of cancer one might develop. This opens new avenues for early diagnosis and targeted prevention strategies.
