Perspectives
Research in animal models allows a controlled approach in design and stress are related to cancer. And let us assume, hypothesize that this behavior is similar in humans, the importance from my point of view is that this study supports the idea that emotions are very important in the development of diseases, it is necessary to work interdisciplinary way and always attend to emotional factors in people with any disease, assuming that this intervention will give a faster and with greater humanity recovery.
