THE SHOCKING LINK BETWEEN CHRONIC STRESS AND TUMOR GROWTH
Chronic stress is increasingly recognized as a key factor in cancer development and progression. Dr. Leigh Erin Connealy highlights that many cancer patients report experiencing severe stress before diagnosis. Chronic stress activates the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal (HPA) axis, leading to excessive cortisol release, which weakens the immune system, promotes inflammation, and damages DNA creating conditions favorable for cancer growth. Stress can also reactivate dormant cancer cells, increasing the risk of recurrence. Effective stress management, including mindfulness, proper diet, and exercise, is essential for prevention and improving outcomes for those at risk or battling cancer.
