Abstract
Disruption of circadian rhythms is associated with increased risks of various diseases, including cancers.
- Circadian rhythms regulate physiological processes such as metabolism, hormone secretion, and sleep.
- Epidemiological and clinical data suggest a connection between circadian rhythm disruption and cancer.
- Oncogenic processes may interfere with the body's natural circadian balance.
- Integrating circadian biology into cancer research could enhance the effectiveness of cancer treatments.
- Pharmacological modulation of core clock genes represents a potential new strategy in cancer therapy.
