The Daily Rhythm System in Glioblastoma: How It Works and Possible Treatments

Updated

Abstract

Disruption of circadian rhythms is associated with glioblastoma (GBM), an aggressive brain cancer.

  • Circadian rhythms play a role in regulating the body's physiological functions, including the sleep-wake cycle.
  • Alterations in the expression of core circadian genes may contribute to the development of GBM.
  • Restoring normal circadian gene function could potentially suppress GBM progression.
  • Chronotherapy may enhance the effectiveness of chemotherapy and radiotherapy when aligned with a patient's internal clock.
  • Further investigation is required to understand the mechanisms linking circadian rhythms and GBM pathogenesis.
