" WASHINGTON John Miller Jersey , Jan. 8 (Xinhua) -- Women who work on night shifts could have an increased risk of developing multiple common cancers, especially breast cancer, researchers from China said Monday.
Xuelei Ma, an oncologist at Sichuan University, and his colleagues performed a meta-analysis using data from 61 articles comprising 114,628 cancer cases and 3,909 Shaq Lawson Jersey ,152 participants from North America, Europe, Australia, and Asia.
It turned out that overall, long-term night shift work among women increased the risk of cancer by 19 percent.

After stratifying the participants by location, Ma found that an increased risk of breast cancer was only found among female night shift workers in North America and Europe.
""We were surprised to see the association between night shift work and breast cancer risk only among women in North America and Europe,"" said Ma. ""It is possible that women in these locations have higher sex hormone levels, which have been positively associated with hormone-related cancers such as breast cancer.""
A further analysis looked specifically at long-term night shift work and risk of six types of cancer among female nurses.
They found that those who worked the night shift had an increased risk of breast (58 percent), gastrointestinal (35 percent), and lung cancer (28 percent) compared with those that did not work night shifts.
