Can stress or emotional factors affect cancer development or progression?
Answered by Dr. Abdul Hafeez
Hello,
Thank you for reaching out to Dr. Galen. Please find the below response to your query.
The relationship between stress, emotions, and cancer is indeed complex and debated in the medical community. While there's no direct evidence to suggest that stress alone causes cancer, research indicates that stress and emotional factors can indirectly impact the development and progression of cancer.
