“…Additionally, numerous publications have reported that melatonin inhibits the growth of a variety of cancers: lung [5, 14, 15], breast [16–20], prostate [21–24], liver [25, 26], colon [27, 28], etc. The oncostatic mechanisms of melatonin are related to several hallmarks of cancer, including anti-proliferation [14], induction of apoptosis [5, 14, 15], inhibition of invasion and metastasis [29, 30], anti-angiogenesis [16, 31], and enhancement of immunomodulation [32] among others. Furthermore, clinical studies have demonstrated that melatonin treatment enhances the efficacy and reduces the side-effects of chemotherapy, prolongs survival time, and improves quality of life for NSCLC patients [8, 33].…”
