Scientists probe link between stress and cancer growth

NCT ID NCT01113112

Summary

This study aimed to understand how factors like stress, depression, and social support might influence the body's internal environment and potentially affect tumor growth in ovarian cancer. Researchers studied over 600 women with ovarian cancer to look for connections between these behavioral factors and specific biological markers in the body. The goal was to gather knowledge, not to test a new treatment.
