“Shocking” Findings – Scientists Discover How Stress Triggers Cancer’s Spread
scitechdaily.com

Stress is an unavoidable aspect of life. However, excessive stress can have detrimental effects on our health. Prolonged stress elevates the risk of developing heart disease and experiencing strokes. It may also help cancer spread. How this works has remained a mystery—a challenge for cancer care.

The glucocorticoids released during chronic stress cause neutrophil extracellular trap (NET) formation and establish a metastasis-promoting microenvironment. Therefore, NETs could be targets for preventing metastatic recurrence in cancer patients.

      Yes, metastasis refers to the spread of cancer. This study speaks of the adverse effects of stress for people with cancer.

      Humans actually develop cancerous cells very regularly. Our immune system can fight it off more often than not, but obviously not all the time. It makes sense that being stressed would make it worse, just like being stressed makes you more likely to be sick in general.

    I thought this was common knowledge. Stress free long life. Accept bad shit happens and do your best to not be a shit cunt. Surround yourself with half decent people and don’t waste your time with those that aren’t good people
