Psychological stress, associate biologic mediators, and ovarian cancer risk

Description: Ovarian cancer is highly fatal and there are few prevention recommendations. Characterizing the role of psychosocial stress in ovarian carcinogenesis will improve our understanding of the biology of this disease. Further, meditation, mindfulness, and yoga can reduce perceived stress and its biologic effects. These safe, low-cost behavioral interventions could provide new prevention strategies for this deadly disease.
