Abstract
Stress, often considered a silent yet pervasive force in our daily lives, has increasingly been recognized for its significant impact on human health. In the realm of oncology, the connection between stress and cancer development, particularly tumor metastasis, has become a subject of intense research and clinical interest. This review discusses the intricate relationship between stress and tumor metastasis, exploring the biological mechanisms, clinical implications, and potential therapeutic approaches at the intersection of these two complex phenomena. By understanding the role of stress in shaping cancer progression, we may uncover new avenues for improving patient outcomes and advancing cancer care.
