Work too night Taxable Cancer Risk

You like to work late at night or always do the work the night shift? Time for you to consider the effect on your health.

A recent study from the WHO has stated that late-night hours can also increase the chance of esophageal cancer. In this research found that the average prostate cancer and breast cancer are the people who work late into the night.

International Agency for Research on Cancer which is under direct WHO data also found that people who work the night shift also have a higher chance of developing cancer. However, the American cancer society institutions are still researching the truth of these findings.

As reported by Yahoo.com on Friday (11/30/2007), the American cancer society institutions are still doubtful that working late into the night effect on a person to esophageal cancer. This institution is more in agreement with the findings of shift work can make a person more likely to stimulate a cancer-causing factors.

Although no strong evidence, but the work until late at night is very dangerous. Not only damage the heart rhythm, but also the body's biological functions. The hormone melatonin is a driving force for tumor development, is generally produced at night.

If the new findings about the system of work shifts that increase the chances of getting cancer, would be highly significant effect for the world community. Almost 20 percent of the world community is currently working on night shift.

Richard Stevens was the first to connect the influence of night-shift work with cancer. In 1987 then, professors and experts of cancer epidemiology at the University of Connecticut Health Center has published a hypothesis that links between the activity at night can cause breast cancer.

But in several studies some of Tahuna was found that women who work at night tend to be more susceptible to breast cancer. It was also supported by the fact that the animal susceptible to tumor too night and early death. While at the Adam, works at night to enhance opportunities for prostate cancer.

However, it should be underlined that in this study were the nurses and crew of the aircraft so that studies with different populations still needs to be proven. This latest study is debatable. As long as it is known that cancer genes are influenced by alcohol material and birth control pills. Scientists themselves believe that melatonin levels are low at someone can cause a higher risk of esophageal cancer.

"Shift night will certainly make people try to awake at work. That's what makes people not getting enough sleep, so that the immune system vulnerable to attack and loss of power to ward off cancer cells that threaten," said Mark Rea, director of Light Research Center at Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute in New York.

People who work at night often makes a pattern of life disrupted. In addition, it is theoretically possible attacks insomnia may also increase the risk of esophageal cancer. Not only that, the lighting system while working at night is also believed to be one cause of cancer. This is because the light turns out that melatonin can stimulate cancer cell growth. So far known lights and the waste products of combustion into the factors that facilitate a person stricken with cancer.
