TLDR
The data demonstrate that long-term exposure of DMBA-treated female rats increases the growth of mammary tumors in a highly dose-related fashion, and a highly significant linear relation between flux density and increase in tumor incidence at time of autopsy is indicated.About:

Guidelines for limiting exposure to time-varying electric, magnetic, and electromagnetic fields (up to 300 GHz)
TL;DR: The International Commission on Non-Ionizing Radiation Protection (ICNIRP)—was established as a successor to the IRPA/INIRC, which developed a number of health criteria documents on NIR as part of WHO’s Environmental Health Criteria Programme, sponsored by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).
Journal ArticleDOI
Interaction of static and extremely low frequency electric and magnetic fields with living systems: health effects and research needs.
TL;DR: Although health hazards exist from exposure to ELF fields at high field strengths, the literature does not establish that health hazards are associated with exposure to low-level fields, including environmental levels, and so no further research in this area was deemed necessary.

The melatonin hypothesis: electric power and breast cancer.
Richard G. Stevens,Scott Davis +1 more
TL;DR: The evidence for an effect of melatonin on breast cancer in experimental animals is strong, but the evidence in humans is scant and difficult to gather, and the weakest aspect of the circumstantial case is EMF effects on melatonin.

Electromagnetic Fields and Cancer in Children Residing Near Norwegian High-Voltage Power Lines
Tore Tynes,Tor Haldorsen +1 more
TL;DR: This study provides little support for an association between children's exposure to magnetic fields and cancer and no support for a association between leukemia and such exposure, but no firm conclusions can be drawn owing to the small numbers involved.

Electric power use and breast cancer: a hypothesis
TL;DR: The hypothesis that use of electric power may increase risk of breast cancer is presented based on experimental evidence that shows an effect of light and extremely low frequency electric and/or magnetic fields on pineal melatonin production, and on the relationship of melatonin to mammary carcinogenesis.
Journal ArticleDOI
The immunoneuroendocrine role of melatonin
TL;DR: The pineal gland might be viewed as the crux of a sophisticated immunoneuroendocrine network which functions as an unconscious, diffuse sensory organ that is particularly apparent in immunodepressive states.
Journal ArticleDOI
Role of pineal gland in aetiology and treatment of breast cancer.
TL;DR: The hypothesis that diminished function of the pineal gland may promote the development of breast cancer in human beings is suggested by the relation between breast cancer and prolonged oestrogen excess, and by the observation that the Pineal secretion, melatonin, inhibits ovarian oestrogens production, pituitary gonadotrophin production, and sexual development and maturation.
Journal ArticleDOI
ELF magnetic fields, breast cancer, and melatonin: 60 Hz fields block melatonin's oncostatic action on ER+ breast cancer cell proliferation
TL;DR: Results provide the first evidence that ELF frequency magnetic fields can act at the cellular level to enhance breast cancer cell proliferation by blocking melatonin's natural oncostatic action.
Journal ArticleDOI
Breast Cancer Mortality Among Female Electrical Workers in the United States
TL;DR: The findings are broadly consistent with the hypothesis that exposure to extremely low-frequency electromagnetic fields causes breast cancer among women, and encourage further investigation with improvements in study design and data quality.
