Study Reveals Potential Link Between Chronic Stress and Cancer Metastasis
A recent study from Cold Spring Harbor Laboratory Cancer Center has revealed a potential link between stress and cancer metastasis, paving the way for new treatment strategies. Chronic stress has long been known to have detrimental effects on health, increasing the risk of conditions such as heart disease, strokes, and potentially aiding in the spread of cancer. The study found that stress induces the formation of sticky web-like structures by certain white blood cells, rendering body tissues more susceptible to cancer metastasis. The implications of these findings are profound, potentially offering new avenues for treatment strategies to curb the spread of cancer in stress-induced conditions.
