The women started at this time should begin to regulate emotions and find ways to cope with stress . Not merely can promote weight loss , stress was also shown to play a major role in the spread of tumors to other body parts .
Reported Body and Soul , hormones adrenaline and physical stress can alter the environment in which the tumor grows . Both act as ' fertilizer ' that encourage breast cancer becomes more widespread .
Dr. Erica Sloan from the Monash Institute of Pharmaceutical Sciences , Melbourne , believes this could be the opportunity for women to be able to control stress , to slow or even stop the spread of tumors . Dr. Sloan is investigating whether the drugs commonly used blood pressure , also known as beta blockers , can also be used to slow the spread of breast cancer .
" I do not tell them who had cancer not to stress , it is a natural thing . Rather, we investigate whether the drugs commonly used for blood pressure can be used to protect women with breast cancer , " said Dr. Sloan .
He continued over the past few years clinical studies have shown that women with breast cancer who have hypertension and taking beta blockers better progress than other patients . No one knows for sure what causes their relationship , but Dr. Sloan suspect this may be due to the stress response associated with cancer development .
Using a laboratory model , a team of researchers at Monash University show that this is a major breakthrough . Even so , Dr. Sloan admits they are now working hard to understand how beta blockers work to stop the spread . " The interaction between cells and the healthy breast tumor cells are very complex , we tried to figure out where the ' components ' stress are , " he continued .
The team is now finding out which beta- blocker that works most effectively , without side effects , and can actually help patients . " In the meantime , it's good for women to keep away from the stress early . I'm sure the effect will be very good against cancer , " said Dr. Sloan .
