With the advent of electricity, people’s nightlife is gradually enriched. The prevalence of late nights which disturbance circadian rhythm has raised concerns about the potential risk of cancer. A low quality of sleep decreases immunity, distracts people’s attention, and weakens people’s memory. This paper is going to review the previous research and discuss scientist’s attitudes on circadian rhythm in cancer. By targeting the clock gene, scientists have found that both the mammary gland and lung are affected by circadian rhythm. Scientists execute research on the working times of shift workers and their health, the sleep duration of people, and the effect of clock genes on tumor cells. After analyzing the result, this study believes that in the long term, the disturbance of circadian rhythm can be one of the cancer risk factors. To address possible cancer risk factors, this paper examines the influence of circadian rhythm on lung and breast cancer.
