Stress Can Trigger Cancers, According to New Research
By Scott Miners
Researchers are continuing to find links between
stress and disease. According to findings published in Nature magazine,
emotional stress can trigger the growth of tumors. Any kind of unresolved
trauma, emotional or physical, can compound a potential mix of cancerous
mutations in the body. The researchers, including Tian Xu, a Yale University
geneticist who led the study, indicated that we would do well to be aware of
the many different conditions in our environments: physical (infections,
inflammation), emotional (family life, work).Not all mutations lead to cancer formation, in fact,
scientists believed that more than one cancer-causing mutation had to occur in
a cell to promote tumor growth.However, Xu and his colleagues found that mutations can cause cancer
even when they are in different cells because stress affects the whole system
at once and therefore opens doorways compounding the potential of mutated cells
to form tumors; furthermore, it's easier for a tissue to accumulate mutations
in different cells than in the same cell, according to professor Xu. Full
