A Timing-Based Model to Predict Outcomes After Surgery for Early Stage Lung Cancer

Circadian Biology Weekly Brief ↗PubMed ↗DOI ↗OA ↗

Updated Oct 17, 2026

Abstract

Chronobiology may influence outcomes in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC) after surgery.

The role of chronobiology in early-stage NSCLC is not well defined.
Perioperative chronobiological variables may be associated with systemic inflammation.
Long-term outcomes after complete resection for stage I NSCLC could be influenced by these variables.

Simplified

Chronobiology may influence outcomes in non-small-cell lung cancer (NSCLC), but its prognostic role in early-stage disease remains unclear. We evaluated the association between perioperative chronobiological variables, systemic inflammation, and long-term outcomes after complete resection for stage I NSCLC.
