The notion that stress and cancer are interlinked has dominated lay discourse for decades.
More recent animal studies indicate that stress can substantially facilitate cancer …

Although there is little direct evidence supporting that stress affects cancer incidence, it does
influence the evolution, dissemination and therapeutic outcomes of neoplasia, as shown in …

Breast cancer exhibits the highest global incidence among all tumor types. Regardless of
the type of breast cancer, metastasis is a crucial cause of poor prognosis. Anoikis, a form of …

Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a cytoplasmic protein tyrosine kinase that is overexpressed
and activated in several advanced-stage solid cancers. FAK promotes tumour progression …

The peripheral autonomic nervous system (ANS) is known to regulate gene expression in
primary tumours and their surrounding microenvironment. Activation of the sympathetic …

Evidence suggests that the perioperative period and the excision of the primary tumour can
promote the development of metastases—the main cause of cancer-related mortality. This …

Chronic stress triggers activation of the sympathetic nervous system and drives malignancy.
Using an immunodeficient murine system, we showed that chronic stress–induced …

Neurotransmitters are conventionally viewed as nerve-secreted substances that mediate the
stimulatory or inhibitory neuronal functions through binding to their respective receptors. In …

Focal adhesion kinase (FAK) is a key regulator of growth factor receptor-and integrin-
mediated signals, governing fundamental processes in normal and cancer cells through its …

Beta-adrenergic signaling has been found to regulate multiple cellular processes that
contribute to the initiation and progression of cancer, including inflammation, angiogenesis …
