“…Addressing anxiety, depression, and existential concerns in a timely and compassionate manner is crucial.The circadian rhythms of family members and caregivers can also be taken into account. (38) Ensuring that support systems are available when needed most can improve the patient's overall experience.Engaging patients in conversations about their end-of-life preferences and advance care planning should be done when they are most alert and receptive. This helps ensure that their wishes are understood and respected.Some complementary therapies, such as massage, music therapy, or aromatherapy, may be more effective when timed to align with the patient's natural rhythms.…”

Cancer treatment has seen remarkable advancements in recent years, but the accompanying side effects often diminish the patient's quality of life. To address this, the field of chronopharmacology has emerged, aiming to optimize cancer treatment by aligning it with the patient's circadian rhythms. This article explores the intricate relationship between the circadian clock and cancer susceptibility, the role of clock genes in tumor suppression, and the potential benefits of chronopharmacological approaches in chemotherapy and targeted therapies. Moreover, it discusses how chronobiological insights can be applied to palliative care and hormonal therapies, and how a patient-centered approach can tailor treatments to individual circadian rhythms. The regulatory and ethical considerations surrounding chronopharmacology are also examined. Ultimately, chronopharmacology offers the promise of more personalized and effective cancer treatments, enhancing patient well-being and outcomes in the battle against cancer.
