Light-at-night, cancer and aging
concluded that "shift-work that involves circadian disruption is probably carcinogenic to humans" [1]. This conclusion was based upon limited evidence in humans [2, 3] and sufficient evidence in experimental animals [4, 5]. The current experimental results of Vinogradova and colleagues from Petrozavodsk and St. Petersburg render further support to this important issue and indicate a number of h...
متن کاملCancer and Aging: Why Bother about Light at Night?
Shift work which causes circadian disruption is an established cancer risk factor. A large body of experimental and epidemiological data proves that exposure to light at night promotes carcinogenesis in various tissues and accelerates aging [1-3]. Artificial or natural light through master clock located in suprachiasmatic nuclei of hypothalamus suppresses night peak of melatonin synthesis in th...
متن کاملLIGHT POLLUTION: Light at Night and Breast Cancer Risk Worldwide
Several studies over the last decade have suggested that the modern practice of keeping our bodies exposed to artificial light at night, or LAN, increases cancer risk, especially for cancers (such as breast and prostate cancers) that require hormones to grow. Women who work night shifts have shown higher rates of breast cancer, whereas blind women, who are not likely to be exposed to or perceiv...
متن کاملLight at night, shiftwork, and breast cancer risk.
Breast cancer is the most commonly diagnosed female noncutaneous cancer in the United States and in Europe. The etiology of breast cancer is primarily unknown, with an estimated one quarter of all breast cancers possibly due to heritable factors (1) and only a minor proportion possibly due to already established environmental risk factors, such as early age at menarche, older age at first pregn...
متن کاملArtificial Light at Night and Cancer: Global Study
Background: Artificial light at night (ALAN) has been linked to increased risk of cancers in body sites like the breast and colorectum. However exposure of ALAN as an environmental risk factor and its relation to cancers in humans has never been studied in detail. Objective: To explore the association of ALAN with all forms of cancers in 158 countries. Materials and Methods: An ecological study...
