New Research Between Stress and Cancer
April 16th, 2010 By: Brittany
Scientists have discovered that everyday emotional stress is a trigger for the growth of tumours
They discovered that any sort of trauma, emotional or physical, can act as a “pathway” between cancerous mutations bringing them together in a potentially deadly mix.
The findings, published in Nature, seemed to show for the first time that the conditions for developing the disease can be affected by your emotional environment including every day work and family stress.
Until now, scientists believed more than one cancer-causing mutation needed to take place in a single cell in order for tumours to grow.
But Prof Xu and colleagues at Yale University, working with fruit flies, showed mutations can promote cancer even when they are located in different cells. This is because stress opens up “pathways” between them.

It’s important to talk about your stress, exercise, eat food that contribute to stress management, and find an actively that can actually release stress from the body.
