Circadian disruption, sleep loss, and prostate cancer risk: a systematic review of epidemiologic studies.
نویسندگان
چکیده
Disruption of the circadian system has been hypothesized to increase cancer risk, either because of direct disruption of the molecular machinery generating circadian rhythms or because of disruption of parameters controlled by the clock such as melatonin levels or sleep duration. This hypothesis has been studied in hormone-dependent cancers among women, but data are sparse about potential effects of circadian disruption on the risk of prostate cancer. This review systematically examines available data evaluating the effects of light at night, sleep patterns, and night shift work on prostate cancer risk.

Women with hereditary breast cancer predispositions should avoid using their smartphones, tablets and laptops at night
Breast cancer is the most common malignancy among women, both in the developed and developing countries. Women with mutations in the BRCA1 and BRCA2 genes have an increased risk of breast and ovarian cancers. Recent studies show that short-wavelength visible light disturb the secretion of melatonin and causes circadian rhythm disruption. We have previously studied the health effects of exposure...

Background: The rate of recurrence and mortality in high-risk prostate cancer remains high. On the other hand, the use of chemotherapy in metastatic prostate cancer has improved overall survival of patients. The aim of this study was to evaluate the effect of neoadjuvant chemotherapy alone on increasing survival of patients with high risk localized prostate cancer Methods: This is a systematic...

Background and Aim: Prostate gland is one of the most important exocrine gland in the male genital system, whose neoplasms are very common in Iran and other countries. The incidence of the disease is not the same among different racial communities. Therefore, epidemiologic studies can be useful in our country. This study was aimed to determine the epidemiologic characteristics of prostate neopl...
متن کاملAssociations of Circadian Disruption of Sleep and Nutritional Factors with Risk of Cancer
Background: Daily entrainment of the human circadian clock is important for good human health. In previous studies, shift work has been linked to higher risk of chronic diseases, including certain types of cancers. Exposure to light at night suppresses the physiologic production of melatonin, a hormone that has antiproliferative effects on intestinal cancers. In the present review, we examine t...
متن کاملTiming Is Everything: Implications for Metabolic Consequences of Sleep Restriction
Type 2 diabetes (T2D) is a complex disease driven by a combination of genetic and environmental factors. In recent years, several lines of evidence suggest that circadian disruption and sleep loss contribute to disease pathogenesis. Epidemiologic studies indicate that shift work is associated with an increased risk of T2D (1,2). Shift work is a prime example of circadian disruption, altering th...
