Abstract
This article contains own and literature data on stimulating influence of constant light illumination on the risk of the development of anovulation, hyperplastics processes and cancers of the female reproductive system organs (mammary gland, endometrium, and ovaries) in the laboratory animals and women. Contrary, the light deprivation obstacles to the cancer development. The ata on the key role of the inhibition of production of pineal hormone melatonin in the pathology that developed under the effect of light-at-night as well as on the possible prevention of this pathology with melatonin and pineal peptides are reported.
