ABSTRACT
Research into chronotherapy has seen notable developments over the past decades, with a clear focus on the identification of circadian clock genes as potential treatment targets. Moreover, new factors are investigated, such as gender and the role of cancer stem cells in influencing the outcome of chronomodulated treatments. These factors could add to the arsenal of parameters that assist with patient stratification and treatment personalisation. Literature analysis showed that certain anatomical sites received more attention and the associated studies reported clinically significant results, even though some findings are contradictory. The aim of this work was to review the existing studies on chrono-oncology using a tumour site-specific approach and to highlight the status of research in various cancers. Inconsistencies in data reporting, the nature of the studies and the highly heterogeneous patient characteristics, highlight the need for well-designed randomised controlled trials to elucidate the real potential of chronotherapy in oncology.
