“…Although a few studies reported no significant association between breast cancer and night work (O'Leary et al 2006, Pronk et al 2010, the majority of recent studies reported significant or borderline associations, with the strongest association found with long-term exposure to night work (Hansen 2001, Schernhammer et al 2001, Hansen & Lassen 2012, Hansen & Stevens 2012, Knutsson et al 2013, Menegaux et al 2013, Rabstein et al 2013, Akerstedt et al 2015, Papantoniou et al 2015. Meta-analysis studies have also reported a positive association between night work and breast cancer risk (Jia et al 2013) and that a positive dose-response gradient is observed for breast cancer with increased years of night shift and cumulative night work .…”

Nuclear receptors (NRs) have been targets of intensive drug development for decades due to their roles as key regulators of multiple developmental, physiological and disease processes. In breast cancer, expression of the estrogen and progesterone receptor remains clinically important in predicting prognosis and determining therapeutic strategies. More recently, there is growing evidence supporting the involvement of multiple nuclear receptors other than the estrogen and progesterone receptors, in the regulation of various processes important to the initiation and progression of breast cancer. We review new insights into the mechanisms of action of NRs made possible by recent advances in genomic technologies and focus on the emerging functional roles of NRs in breast cancer biology, including their involvement in circadian regulation, metabolic reprogramming and breast cancer migration and metastasis.

“…The major idea behind this is that the reduced melatonin secretion plays a crucial role in the occurrence of cancer. A number of studies have addressed this question by employing both case-control and cohort designs, thus supporting [200,201] or not supporting [202] such an association. The inconsistencies may depend on the definition of "shift work" [203].…”
