People with cancer have elevated levels of stress hormones in their bodies, which increase cancer metastasis and activity. Research shows that stress hormones like cortisol can affect inflammatory enzymes, triggering inflammation, a precursor to some cancers and other diseases.
Stress also causes free radicals in the body to produce more. These free radicals will attack the cell structure, causing damage, cell mutation – the cause of cancer cell formation.

Studies in mice and laboratory-grown human cancer cells have found that the stress hormone norepinephrine can promote angiogenesis and metastasis.
