Breast Cancer Therapy

There seems to be a new study every other day which gets trumpeted the big breakthrough in treating this or that. Often it's the result of one study and unrepeatable, but that's part of the research funding rat race.

Science Daily has an interesting one, breast cancer therapy needs dark.

Summary:
Exposure to light at night, which shuts off nighttime production of the hormone melatonin, renders breast cancer completely resistant to tamoxifen, a widely used breast cancer drug, says a new study. Melatonin by itself delayed the formation of tumors and significantly slowed their growth, researchers report, but tamoxifen caused a dramatic regression of tumors in animals with either high nighttime levels of melatonin during complete darkness or those receiving melatonin supplementation during dim light at night exposure.

If it proves to be true it's cheap and easy.
