Chronotherapy, the strategic timing of cancer treatment based on circadian rhythms, is an emerging field that leverages the SCN's regulatory role. By administering treatments at specific times, clinicians can enhance drug efficacy and minimize side effects. Research indicates that the timing of chemotherapy, immunotherapy, and radiation therapy can significantly impact their effectiveness. For instance, administering chemotherapeutic agents in sync with the body's circadian rhythm can reduce toxicity and improve patient outcomes.
