Behavioral stress is known to promote tumor progression in experimental models, but the role of behavioral stress in cancer initiation is less clear. In this issue, Hassan et al. focus on the signaling and biological effects induced by stress hormones that lead to tumor cell evasion from apoptosis, resulting in prostate cancer progression.
行为应激已知可促进实验模型中的肿瘤进展,但行为应激在癌症起始中的作用尚不清楚。在本期杂志中,Hassan 等人关注应激激素诱导的信号转导和生物学效应,这些效应导致肿瘤细胞逃避细胞凋亡,从而促进前列腺癌进展。
