Can stress induce cancer?

Maybe it can: It has not been scientifically proven that stress causes cancer. Some viruses cause cancers, so it is possible that stress alters the way the body fights off or deals with viruses, and could make one more susceptible to developing cancers. Stress can alter the function of the immune system, perhaps making it harder for the immune system to detect and destroy mutant cells before they reproduce.

See below: Agree with Dr. K. It is unlikely that stress per se causes cancer, but it can affect your health in other ways. Have a healthy diet, exercise, drink plenty of water, have safe sex, if you do, and get HPV vaccine, Wish you good health!
