Cancer Survival Affected By Stress, Depression
Dear Reader,
Important findings for all cancer patients. The words John Steinbeck once wrote, "A sad soul can kill you quicker, far quicker, than a germ," have now been supported by recent research. It's one step in the process of understanding how emotions might impact the body, and thus outcomes for cancer patients. Cancer can often be a life and death struggle - a huge stressor on its own - and we're finding that managing stress may just as important as other treatments when fighting this terrible illness. The struggle is that the link between psychological stress and cancer survival are notoriously hard to study.
Naturally, cancer patients are not a group researchers are anxious to trouble with the demands of research. And yet a growing number of studies using ovarian, breast and other cancers continue to suggest a link between stress and disease, cancer growth and survival.
In research appearing in PloS ONE, a team lead by Lorenzo Cohen a professor of general oncology and director of the Integrative Medicine Program at the University of Texas MD Anderson Cancer Center, has found symptoms of depression among those with late stage renal cell cancers were linked to a higher risk of death in these patients.
Cohen explains that under normal conditions cortisol (the so-called stress hormone) should be high at the start of the day and drop as the day goes on. But for the patient experiencing chronic stress or depression, cortisol levels remain higher longer than they should with less of a drop in the evening. According to the study, those who had higher cortisol levels all day long had a higher risk of death. It seems that the association between the psychological condition of a patient and survival times might be due to inflammatory biology.
Another project on stress and illness adds to our understanding of the process. A team led by Sheldon Cohen (no relation to Lorenzo from the first study) who is a professor of psychology and director of the Laboratory for the Study of Stress, Immunity and Disease at Carnegie Mellon University saw that psychological stress that's chronic was found to be linked with the body losing the ability to regulate the inflammatory response.

Cancer Survival Affected By Stress, Depression Continued...
It appears that over a long period of chronic stress body tissue is desensitized to cortisol so that the hormone loses its effectiveness in managing inflammation. Chronic inflammation can promote the development (and progression) of many health problems. Cancer is one, others include depression, diabetes, heart disease and rheumatoid arthritis.
All this sounds logical, yet such findings don't mean things have to stay that way. Stress management is showing itself as an important part of cancer treatment, and perhaps many other inflammatory conditions. Managing stress certainly improves the quality of day-to-day life and there are lots of ways to do it - cognitive behavioral therapy, medications, meditation, yoga, tai chi, self-hypnosis or guided imagery are all effective approaches.
Managing the stress of a life with cancer isn't easy, but it appears to be able to make a real difference not only in how you feel day to day, but perhaps how you do going forward.
To your good health,
