pubmed:abstractText |
Experimental data from animals suggest a protective role for the pineal hormone melatonin in the etiology of breast cancer, but results from the few retrospective case-control studies that examined the association in humans have been inconsistent. To determine whether low levels of endogenous melatonin are associated with an increased risk for developing breast cancer, we conducted a prospective nested case-control study among British women.
