Cancer overrides body clock to survive: study
Physicians are beginning to think about timing delivery of therapies in such a way that, say, if we deliver a drug at a certain time of day, well get better on-target effects on the cancer and less toxicity in the normal cells.

Cancer cells alter the body clock to boost tumour growth and survive conditions that would kill normal cells, a study has found.
For tumours to grow and spread, cancer cells must make larger than normal amounts of nucleic acids and protein, so they can replicate themselves.
Yet in both normal and cancer cells that increase their synthesis of protein, a small percent of those proteins do not fold properly.
