Scientists don’t find association between night work and the risk of endometrial cancer

Leave a Comment / Cancer, Epidemiology, Public Health, Cancer Prevention and Palliative Care Program, Infections and Cancer / By

Night work is associated with an increased risk of some cancers with a strong hormonal influence, such as breast or prostate cancer, due to the circadian cycle disruption, that alters the levels of certain hormones. Endometrial cancer also has an important hormonal component, so it could also be influenced by circadian factors. Only two studies […]

The ROBOCER national registry study, led by IDIBELL and the Bellvitge University Hospital, highlights the advantages of robotic surgery based on data from all cases of cervical cancer operated with the Da Vinci robot in Spain since 2009. The conclusions of the latest analysis have been collected in a scientific article published this February in the journal Cancers.
