Stress Helps Cancerous Breast Cells Grow and Migrate

It is common knowledge that stress has negative side affects and everyone is familiar with the idea that stress causes humans to age faster. Research is leading some scientists to hypothesize that there is a link between chronic stress and an increased risk of cancer. Neurotransmitters released in response to stress stimulate cancer growth and cancer cell migration. Women with a family history of breast cancer also show greater physiological stress responses to normal everyday "stressors."http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2011/09/110920111818.htm
