How the Body’s Internal Clock and Cancer Interact: New Possibilities for Cancer Treatment
Updated
Abstract
Pharmacological modulation of core clock genes may provide new therapeutic options for cancer treatment.
- Circadian clocks regulate physiological processes essential for maintaining homeostasis.
- Disruption of circadian rhythms is associated with tumorigenesis and the development of cancer traits.
- Oncogenic processes can weaken circadian rhythms, creating a bidirectional relationship.
- Integrating circadian biology into cancer research could enhance prevention, diagnosis, and treatment strategies.
