• Description:
  Objective: It has been proposed that workers with night shifts are at greater risk of developing breast cancer than workers with day shifts. Methods: A literature review of publications studying the relationship of workers with night shifts and risk of breast cancer was conducted. These publications were chosen through PubMed and Science Direct databases and references found in the literature. Results: Studies selected reported a relationship between decreased melatonin with breast cancer, the ratio of night work with breast cancer, and disruption of the circadian cycle with breast cancer. Conclusion: More clinical studies are needed evaluating the relationship between night work and breast cancer. [Description provided by NIOSH]
