Cancer and Mental trauma

It is known how much the illness of cancer affects the mental state of a person.Similarly, it is also interesting to note how a particular state of mind can  influence in some ways the process of cancer evolution. The mental effect of cancer is grossly visible on the face of a suffering patient who undergoes severe mental  anxiety and fear. On the other hand, it is also observed that a persistently traumatic mental condition due to some reasons depressed one's body's  immunity or caused some disorders of hormones or brain chemicals, making a person vulnerable to trigger gene mutation and cancer formation. Clinical experiences reveal  that certain cases of cancer, particularly prostate and breast cancer, have been closely associated with certain traumatic mental states which prolonged over a period of 2 to 3 years.
