Working night shifts has "little or no effect" on a woman's risk of developing breast cancer, new research suggests. 

In 2007, a World Health Organization committee said shift work "probably" had a link to breast cancer, based on studies of animals and people.

But this new work by leading UK cancer experts looked at data on 1.4m women and found there was no association with night shift work.
