Melatonin and carcinogenesis in mice: the 50th anniversary of relationships

Oncotarget. 2023 Dec 12;14:972-976. doi: 10.18632/oncotarget.28537.ABSTRACTThe history of studies of melatonin effects on cancer in mice is outlined, the main lesson being that the systemic in vivo effects of melatonin on animals may overwhelm the in vitro effects found using tissue explants or cell cultures. In particular, the timing of melatonin administration is of crucial importance for using the drug, which is freely available over counter and thus needs no licensing for its applications in oncology.PMID:38085132 | PMC:PMC10715041 | DOI:10.18632/oncotarget.28537
