Stress has been known to aggravate
illnesses since a long time. It is the same with many types of cancers,
including cervical cancer and breast cancer. A study by a reputed
medical association says that women who experience high levels of stress long
term may be undermining their ability to fight off common STDs and be at
increased risk of developing cervical cancer. HPV, or human papilloma virus has
been known as a risk factor for cervical cancer in women, although it is not
the causal agent. In most cases, HPV infection in healthy women will vanish
suddenly over time, however, a small proportion of infected women will progress
to having precancerous cervical lesions or even cancer, so the virus’ connection
to cancer cannot be denied either. 
Stress can trigger changes in immune
functioning that make it more difficult for the body to get rid of the virus,
the study suggests. The study looked at potential links between stress and
immune response, and found that the occurrence of major negative life events,
such as job loss, the death of a close relativeor divorce, indeed led to a
weakened immune response. Although the whole study was subjective, it was still
able to shed light on an aspect that was suspected to be important for a long
time.
Cancer hospitals in India have undergone rapid change and have improved drastically in response
to growing statistics of cancer in the country, and one can now find multi-facility,
super-specialty cancer hospitals in Gurgaon and Delhi NCR, as well as in places like Bihar, where surprisingly
advanced cancer hospitals in Patna
have been established.
