Re: chronomodulated chemo (was Options for advanced breast cancer mets?)

[Guest guest]

chronotherapy/chronomodulated chemo--matches administration of chemo to

circadian rhythms; results in chemo being 2-5 times more effective and 2-5 times

less toxic to body. 1 study cited by Block (in 2009) found that optimally timed

chemo resulted in 44% 5-yr survival, whereas chemo administered at the worst

time of day ( " inverse-timed " ) resulted in 11% 5-yr survival. For more info,
