Abstract

Numerous research works have emphasized the critical role that circadian rhythm plays in the tumor microenvironment (TME). The goal of clarifying chrono-pharmacological strategies for improving cancer treatment in clinical settings is a continuous endeavor. Consequently, to enhance the use of time-based pharmaceutical therapies in oncology, combining existing knowledge on circadian rhythms' roles within the TME is essential. This perspective elucidates the functions of circadian rhythms in the TME across various stages of cancer development, progression, and metastasis. Specifically, aging, angiogenesis, and inflammation are implicated in modulating circadian rhythm within the TME. Furthermore, circadian rhythm exerts a profound influence on current cancer treatments and thereby generates chronotheray to manage tumors. From a TME perspective, circadian rhythm offers promising opportunities for cancer prevention and treatment; nevertheless, further study is needed to address unanswered scientific problems.
