Cancer and its treatment are often accompanied by symptoms such
as fatigue, sleep problems, low mood, and cognitive difficulties.
These symptoms frequently occur together, and circadian
disruption may be one factor contributing to their development
and persistence.

In this episode of Light O’Clock, we speak with Lisa Maria Wu
about how cancer and its treatments can affect circadian rhythms
and how these changes are measured. We also discuss bright-light
therapy and other behavioural approaches that may help strengthen
circadian rhythms, as well as what research is still needed
before these strategies become part of routine cancer care.
