The physiology of your body has a lot to do with cancer

As Suzanne Conzen, MD (University of Chicago) knows, there isn’t any question that there is an interaction between the physiology of the human body – that is the state of your mental and physical health – and cancer. Extreme stress can have an accumulative effect on the body’s physiology, allowing prostate cancer to take root and grow. Staying positive and controlling your overall mental health, through diet, exercise, and maintaining a positive outlook is important in helping to prevent and control your disease. We’ve even written that prostate cancer loves a couch potato. Studies have shown that vigorous exercise significantly reduces the risk for prostate cancer recurrence and eating well and exercising has a positive effect on inflammation and stress on the body, which is a key to prostate cancer prevention. PCF has written many times about the need for a good diet and exercise, and we have created some of the best, well-received patient guides on healthy living in the prostate cancer area, which you can download at our website.

There are many reasons to reduce stress on the body:

Hormones made while under stress make it easier for the tumor to grow and the cancer to spread.

Stresscan also affect your immune system.

Studies show that stress interferes with the way certain cells in your immune system work. In particular, it affects cells that find and kill emerging cancer

To alleviate stress on the body, there are steps you can take:

Train in relaxation, including meditation

Seek counseling, including therapy and group social support

Take up as vigorous exercise as possible

Remember, the physical toll on your body whether physical or mental stress, can be unhealthy and should be limited as much as possible. So, take care of yourself and be healthy!

Which cancer is most likely to spread to bone?

Virtually any type of cancer can spread to the bones, but the cancers most likely to cause bone metastasis include: Breast cancer. Kidney cancer. Lung cancer. Lymphoma. Multiple myeloma. Prostate cancer. Thyroid cancer.

mayoclinic.org - Bone metastasis - Symptoms and causes - Mayo Clinic

Overview

Bone metastasis occurs when cancer cells spread from their original site to a bone. Nearly all types of cancer can spread (metastasize) to the bones. But some types of cancer are particularly likely to spread to bone, including breast cancer and prostate cancer. Bone metastasis can occur in any bone but more commonly occurs in the spine, pelvis and thigh. Bone metastasis may be the first sign that you have cancer, or bone metastasis may occur years after cancer treatment. Bone metastasis can cause pain and broken bones. With rare exceptions, cancer that has spread to the bones can't be cured. Treatments can help reduce pain and other symptoms of bone metastases.

Symptoms

Sometimes, bone metastasis causes no signs and symptoms.

When it does occur, signs and symptoms of bone metastasis include:

Bone pain

Broken bones

Urinary incontinence

Bowel incontinence

Weakness in the legs or arms

High levels of calcium in the blood (hypercalcemia), which can cause nausea, vomiting, constipation and confusion

When to see a doctor

If you experience persistent signs and symptoms that worry you, make an appointment with your doctor. If you've been treated for cancer in the past, tell your doctor about your medical history and that you're concerned about your signs and symptoms.

Causes

Bone metastasis occurs when cancer cells break away from the original tumor and spread to the bones, where they begin to multiply. Doctors aren't sure what causes some cancers to spread. And it's not clear why some cancers travel to the bones rather than to other common sites for metastasis, such as the liver.

Risk factors

Virtually any type of cancer can spread to the bones, but the cancers most likely to cause bone metastasis include:
