First seen Jan 27, 2026 · Last updated May 16, 2026 · Updated 12 times

Summary

This study looked at whether the body's natural 24-hour cycle (circadian rhythm) influences the spread of tumor cells in the blood of people with advanced lung cancer. Researchers collected blood samples from 27 patients before they started cancer treatment. The goal was to better understand how timing might affect cancer spread, not to test a new treatment.
