Abstract
This compilation examines the multifaceted impact of stress on cancer, including its development, progression, and treatment response. It highlights how chronic stress can dysregulate immune and endocrine systems, influence the tumor microenvironment, and affect patient adherence to treatment. Psychological distress is prevalent and linked to poorer outcomes. The role of the neuroendocrine-immune axis, gut microbiome, and epigenetic modifications are discussed. Mind-body interventions and psychooncology are presented as key management strategies.
