Impaired circadian rhythm is associated with cancer. Light pollution affects the circadian rhythm and the circadian rhythm affects the metabolism. But what is the (molecular) connection between impaired circadian rhythm altered metabolism and cancer?

$\begingroup$ Do you have a link to the full text of the linked paper? It is not open access. Additionally, just from reading the abstract, the authors are proposing a hypothesis, and haven't actually tested anything. Correlation is not causation. Using Google Scholar, I couldn't find any actual research studies that cited this article testing this hypothesis. $\endgroup$– MattDMoCommented May 29, 2015 at 17:00

$\begingroup$ @MattDMo It is not that hard: kepfeltoltes.hu/150529/… I don't have full text either by most of the articles. Only libraries and universities use to buy access only, it is too expensive. So if you are member of a library then you can probably read the full text at least by some of the online journals. $\endgroup$– inf3rnoCommented May 29, 2015 at 20:43
