How body clock timing may influence cancer treatment delivery and effectiveness

Updated

Abstract

Circadian timing may enhance cancer treatment efficacy and reduce toxicity.

  • Circadian clock regulates various metabolic, physiological, and behavioral processes.
  • There is a recognized connection between circadian rhythms and cancer occurrence and progression.
  • Chronotherapy has shown potential in improving the effectiveness of cancer treatments.
  • Current clinical applications of chronotherapy remain limited despite its promising findings.
  • Innovative drug delivery systems combined with chronobiology and nanotechnology may optimize cancer therapies.
