Night shift work and breast cancer risk (review)
Summary
Synthesizes six cohort and four case‑control studies; persistent or long‑duration night work showed some association with increased risk.
Why It Matters For Night Shift Workers and Night Owls
A structured review how years of night‑shift exposure maps findings showing cancer risk for night‑shift workers and night owls. Evidence trends connect cumulative night exposure with risk signals, which matters over a career rather than a single block. For night‑shift teams and individuals, this ties long‑debated rota features to concrete outcomes, making schedule talk about health, not preference.
