Journal ArticleDOI
A randomized, placebo-controlled trial of melatonin on breast cancer survivors: impact on sleep, mood, and hot flashes
Wendy Y. Chen,Wendy Y. Chen,Anita Giobbie-Hurder,Kathryn Gantman,Jennifer Savoie,Rochelle Scheib,Leroy M. Parker,Eva S. Schernhammer,Eva S. Schernhammer +8 more
TL;DR: This is the first randomized placebo-controlled study among breast cancer survivors to demonstrate that melatonin was associated with an improvement in subjective sleep quality, without any significant adverse effects.
Journal ArticleDOI
Rotating Night-Shift Work and Lung Cancer Risk Among Female Nurses in the United States
TL;DR: There are modestly increased risks of lung cancer associated with extended periods of night-shift work among smokers but not among nonsmokers, which could provide evidence of circadian disruption as a "second hit" in the etiology of smoking-related lung tumors.
Journal ArticleDOI
Associations of self-reported sleep duration and snoring with colorectal cancer risk in men and women.
Xuehong Zhang,Edward Giovannucci,Kana Wu,Xiang Gao,Xiang Gao,Frank B. Hu,Shuji Ogino,Eva S. Schernhammer,Charles S. Fuchs,Susan Redline,Walter C. Willett,Jing Ma +11 more
TL;DR: Longer sleep duration was associated with an increased risk of developing colorectal cancer among individuals who were overweight or snored regularly, and this observation raises the possibility that sleep apnea and its attendant intermittent hypoxemia may contribute to cancer risk.
Journal ArticleDOI
Plasma folate, vitamin B6, vitamin B12, and homocysteine and pancreatic cancer risk in four large cohorts.
Eva S. Schernhammer,Brian M. Wolpin,Nader Rifai,Barbara B. Cochrane,JoAnn E. Manson,Jing Ma,Edward Giovannucci,Cynthia A. Thomson,Meir J. Stampfer,Charles S. Fuchs +9 more
TL;DR: In analyses restricted to nonusers of multivitamins, a modest inverse trend between folate, PLP, and B12 and pancreatic cancer risk is observed; in contrast, no such inverse associations were observed among study subjects who reported multivitamin supplement use.
Journal ArticleDOI
Job stress and breast cancer risk: the nurses' health study.
Eva S. Schernhammer,Susan E. Hankinson,Bernard Rosner,Candyce H. Kroenke,Walter C. Willett,Graham A. Colditz,Ichiro Kawachi +6 more
TL;DR: It is indicated that job stress is not related to any increase in breast cancer risk, and the multivariate relative risks of breast cancer, in comparison with women who worked in low-strain jobs, were 0.83.
