Night-shift work and risk of colorectal cancer in the nurses' health study. (2003, background): “Our major concern, however, is that we potentially underestimated the number of actual shift workers in our study because nurses who worked on permanent night shifts may have classified themselves as non-rotating night-workers ( 10 ).”
The dark side of light at night: physiological, epidemiological, and ecological consequences (2007, background): “For instance, in a study of 602 colorectal cancer cases among 78,586 women, it was determined that a rotating night shift at least three nights per month over at least 15 yr increases the risk of colorectal cancer [67].”
The circadian clock: pacemaker and tumour suppressor (2003, methodology): “The study by Schernhammer et al.(9) included 78,562 women from the Nurses’ Health Study and involved a 10-year fol-”
The Genetics of Mammalian Circadian Order and Disorder: Implications for Physiology and Disease (2008, result): “These results, combined with epidemiological studies examining the link between rotating shift work and cancer risk, suggest a significant association between circadian rhythm disruptions and abnormal cell growt”
