Researchers at Charité – Universitätsmedizin Berlin have developed a method for determining the optimum time of cancer treatment based on a person’s circadian rhythm. The study focused on the response of triple-negative breast cancer cells to chemotherapy at different times of day, finding that certain medications are most effective during specific windows. This personalized approach to treatment based on individual circadian rhythms could significantly improve cancer treatment efficacy and reduce side effects. Further studies are needed to validate these findings and understand the molecular mechanisms behind the circadian influences on medication sensitivity. Funding was provided by the German Federal Ministry of Education and Research and the German Research Foundation.
