The past decade of cancer research has ushered in a comprehensive understanding of the way that the sequence of the genome can be coopted during the process of tumorigenesis. However, only recently has the epigenome, and in particular the three-dimensional topology of chromatin, been implicated in cancer progression. Here we review recent findings of how the cancer genome is regulated and dysregulated to effect changes in 3D genome topology. We discuss the impact of the spatial organization of the genome on the frequency of tumorigenic chromosomal translocations and the effects of disruption of the proteins responsible for the establishment of chromatin loops. Alteration of the three-dimensional cancer genome is a rapidly emerging hallmark of multiple cancer subtypes.
