The oncologist warned about the influence of stress on the development of cancer

The chief physician of the scientific and clinical center No. 2 named after . B.V. Petrovsky, Doctor of Medical Sciences Alexey Butenko.

“The role of the immune system in the origin and development of cancer is very great, because every day, every minute, every second, tumor transformations occur in the human body. That is, the cells of any organs, any tissues age, degenerate, enter the bloodstream, the lymph flow. But the cells of the immune system recognize the cells of a conditional enemy and destroy them in a timely manner. This balance and correct equilibrium allows a person to live and develop, grow old and die, before reaching his cancer. Theoretically, if your system, the immune system, is in a state of stress and imbalance, then there is a risk that your immune system will not cope with cells that, in the course of their life, degenerate and transform into tumor cells.”
