[Night shift work and prolactin as a breast cancer risk factor].
Prolactin - a hormone secreted in a circadian rhythm acts as a regulator of growth and development of the mammary glands. It has been observed that working at night increases breast cancer risk in women. Night shift work, probably carcinogenic to humans (Group 2A IARC), can disrupt a circadian rhythm, and thus potentially alter the rhythm of prolactin secretion. The aim of our work was to revie...
متن کاملNight shift work, light at night, and risk of breast cancer.
BACKGROUND Exposure to light at night may increase the risk of breast cancer by suppressing the normal nocturnal production of melatonin by the pineal gland, which, in turn, could increase the release of estrogen by the ovaries. This study investigated whether such exposure is associated with an increased risk of breast cancer in women. METHODS Case patients (n = 813), aged 20-74 years, were ...
متن کاملRe: Night shift work, light at night, and risk of breast cancer.
Two studies recently published in the Journal showed that disruption of diurnal sleep–wakefulness rhythms, especially through nighttime shift work, was associated with higher subsequent breast cancer incidence (1,2). Both of the articles and the accompanying editorial cited melatonin suppression as a likely mediator via reduced suppression of ovarian estrogen production due to light exposure du...

متن کاملNight-shift work and breast cancer risk in a cohort of Chinese women.
Shift work involving disruption of circadian rhythms has been classified as a probable cause of human cancer by the International Agency for Research on Cancer, based on limited epidemiologic evidence and abundant experimental evidence. The authors investigated this association in a population-based prospective cohort study of Chinese women. At baseline (1996-2000), information on lifetime occu...
