Abstract

Circadian rhythm disruptions are linked to cancer development and progression.

  • Genetic changes or unhealthy lifestyles may disrupt circadian homeostasis.
  • Disruption of circadian rhythms is associated with severe dysfunctions and pathologies, including cancer.
  • The cell cycle, cell growth, and cell death are influenced by the circadian clock.
  • Cell cycle machinery and circadian clocks share similar regulatory mechanisms involving gene and protein feedback loops.
  • Circadian rhythmicity of specific genes may connect to neoplastic transformations.
