Loneliness May Raise Breast Cancer Risk!

New research found that stress of loneliness increases the hormone levels that trigger the tumor growth which finally lead to cancer. So, to reduce the breast cancer risk, it is essential to reduce the feelings of loneliness.

As your stress levels raise, the levels of stress hormone called as corticosterone may get raised and finally it affects the cell growth and thus leading to tumors.

Overall, research in humans does not indicate that there is a direct link between stress and breast cancer. But it's possible that stressful situations could indirectly affect the risk of cancer by making people more likely to take up unhealthy behaviours that increase their risk.

Finally the study suggested that stress that come from isolation may increase the number of breast cancer tumors. So, to reduce the risk of breast cancer, reduce your stress levels as much as you can.
