Core Tip	Heart rate variability (HRV) serves as an indicator of autonomic nervous system function. A reduction in HRV is associated with system imbalances and potential health concerns in patients with cancer. A study involving 127 cancer patients revealed that both the disease and its treatments can lead to a decrease in HRV. Additionally, psychological factors such as stress and anxiety also influence HRV levels. Therefore, monitoring HRV can aid in the assessment of cancer patients’ health status, prognosis, and the formulation of personalized treatment plans.
