Dose–response analysis indicates higher breast cancer risk with increasing duration/frequency of night‑shift exposure.
Evidence here how years of night‑shift exposure shows 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.
