Abstract
Circadian rhythms in gene expression and cellular processes have been observed throughout the human body.
- Disruption of daily rhythms by factors such as light exposure, food intake, or genetic mutation may be linked to cancer development.
- Some medications may be more effective at certain times of day.
- There is a limited number of clinical studies focusing on daily rhythms in patient or drug timing as treatment strategies.
- Recent evidence suggests that daily rhythms and their regulation in tumors could inform personalized medicine approaches for cancer patients.
