Targeted Drugs, Lung CT Screening Top Cancer Advances in 2011

Why is nothing being done with this information that strongly indicates light pollution is a cause or at least contributing factor to cancer development? Could it be there is no profit motive to telling people to limit light exposure at night???

Artificial Light at Night Contributes to Prostate Cancer and Breast Cancer Say Researchers

Theories for cause: suppression of melatonin production, suppression of immune system, body's biological clock confused between night and day

Feb. 3, 2009 – Countries with the highest levels of artificial light at night also have the highest rates of prostate cancer, according to researchers that earlier found a similar link with breast cancer.

The new study from the University of Haifa, Haifa, Israel found the risk of prostate cancer increased as much as 80 percent for men living in countries with the highest levels of artificial light at night.

The study was by Prof. Abraham Haim, Prof. Boris A. Portnov, and Itai Kloog of the University of Haifa, together with Prof. Richard Stevens of the University of Connecticut. It was intended to examine the influence of various factors - including the amount of artificial light at night - on the incidence of three types of cancer: prostate, lung, and of the large intestine, in men around the world.
