New research shows stress increases the spread of cancer

Even more reason to keep stress at bay! We have long suspected a link between stress and cancer. Now Australian researchers from Monash University have demonstrated in animal studies that stress can increase the spread of cancer by increasing the number and size of ‘lymphatic vessels’ in and around tumours. The ‘lymphatic vessels’ are a network of tubes, or ‘drainage system’ located throughout the body to help remove toxins and waste. Most tumours are spread to other organs and body tissues (referred to as ‘metastases’) through this ‘drainage’ system. ‘Link’
