Core Tip	We discussed that the reduced heart rate variability may be associated with cancer treatments, e.g., operation, chemotherapy and pain control and psychological response such as depression and anxiety related to the affected cancer. A management such as medicine to mood disturbances related to cancer has been shown a benefit to improve heart rate variability in cancer patients.
