Good find, Bob. When I was researching for my melatonin articles for the OUCH newsletter (Part II in the next issue), I found all sorts of studies that are looking promising, including melatonin for improving cancer treatment.
Abstract: Five years survival in metastatic non-small cell lung cancer patients treated with chemotherapy alone or chemotherapy and melatonin: a randomized trial

Medical research into melatonin is on the increase. It will be interesting to see if it turns out to be as promising as some of the claims being made.
