Melatonin may suppress breast cancer tumor growth
EAST LANSING, Mich., Aug. 24 (UPI) -- Based on a theory that the sleep-deprived culture of modern society puts women at higher risk for breast cancer, researchers found melatonin may be a way to control the growth and proliferation of cancer cells.Melatonin decreased the number and size of cancer cells in lab experiments, suggesting deficiencies of the natural hormone contribute to the growth of breast cancer, according to a study published in the journal Genes and Cancer.The hormone melatonin is made by the brain at night and helps control the body's sleep and wake cycles.And while sleep, or lack thereof, has been considered as playing a role in a range of diseases and adverse health conditions, few studies have confirmed this.

A University of Central Florida cancer researcher has discovered a way to kill spreading breast cancer cells and her new technology has generated a licensing agreement that will accelerate the therapy's path to clinical trials.Metastatic cancer cells that spread from the original tumor to the brain, lungs and bones are the leading cause of death for most cancer patients, said Annette Khaled, the researcher at the university's College of Medicine who made the discovery.Her work is featured in the September edition of Clinical Cancer Research.In the study, she details how the peptide CT20, which she discovered in 2012, kills fleeing cells.

(WLNS/WOOD) — A hormone that aids in sleep may also suppress the growth of breast cancer tumors, according to newly released findings by Michigan State University.MSU scientists say melatonin, which is produced in the brain and is best known for helping people sleep, also appears to help fight breast cancer.Researchers worked off of a theory that a lack of melatonin puts women at higher risk for breast cancer and found the inverse connection.
