Time of radiotherapy can influence the effectiveness of cancer treatment

https://www.news-medical.net/news/20260130/Time-of-radiotherapy-can-influence-the-effectiveness-of-cancer-treatment.aspx A team of researchers from the Andalusian Centre for Molecular Biology and Regenerative Medicine (CABIMER) and the University of Seville, in collaboration with the Virgen Macarena University Hospital, have identified a fundamental mechanism that links the 24-hour circadian cycle to the precise repair of DNA breaks. This study, which focused on the circadian protein Cryptochrome1 (CRY1), suggests that the time of day when radiotherapy is administered can significantly influence the effectiveness of treatment for certain types of cancer.
