Abstract:Arsenic is a nonmutagenic carcinogen, its carcinogenic mechanisms still maintain unknown. Recent studies have reported that the arsenic carcinogenic mechanisms might be associated with epigenetic changes, especially DNA methylation. This dissertation summarizes the advancement of arsenic metabolism, DNA methylation, as well as the mechanism of arsenic-induced cancers, marker gene
