Circadian clock in thyroid cancer: Effects and mechanisms
The circadian clock may affect thyroid cancer and its processes.
AI simplified
Abstract
Circadian rhythm disruption is associated with an increased risk of thyroid cancer.
- The circadian clock regulates key physiological processes that are crucial for thyroid function.
- Shift work and exposure to artificial light at night may disrupt circadian rhythms.
- Disruption of these rhythms could contribute to thyroid carcinogenesis through various biological mechanisms.
- Molecular pathways connecting clock dysregulation to cancer include oncogenic signaling and immune evasion.
- Chronotherapy may serve as a potential precision oncology strategy targeting these disruptions.
