Exposure to artificial light at night and risk of cancer: where do we go from here?

Despite experimental and mechanistic data suggesting circadian disruption’s role in carcinogenesis, mixed findings from epidemiological investigations of artificial light at night and cancer risk in the general population are difficult to interpret due to exposure assessment limitations. It will be...

description Despite experimental and mechanistic data suggesting circadian disruption’s role in carcinogenesis, mixed findings from epidemiological investigations of artificial light at night and cancer risk in the general population are difficult to interpret due to exposure assessment limitations. It will be important for future studies to assess and validate individual-level exposures, ideally over the lifetime.
