Urinary 6-sulfatoxymelatonin level and breast cancer risk: systematic review and meta-analysis

Abstract 6-Sulfatoxymelatonin (aMT6s) is the main metabolite of melatonin in urine, and is a reliable surrogate biomarker reflecting the blood melatonin concentration. This meta-analysis assessed the association between urinary aMT6s level and BC incidence. The electronic databases PubMed, EMBASE, C...
