摘要
Melatonin is a natural substance ubiquitous in distribution and present in almost all species ranging from unicellular organisms to humans. Melatonin is synthesized not only in the pineal gland but also in most tissues where it may play a cytoprotective function via paracrine or autocrine effects. Melatonin is effective in suppressing neoplastic growth in a variety of tumors and as an adjuvant therapy, it can be beneficial in treating cancer patients. The aim of this report is to summarize the possible mechanisms involved in melatonin oncostasis and to review what is known about the clinical application in cancer patients.
