Analysis of immune resilience in approximately 17,500 people of all ages found an association with a protein, transcription factor 7 (TCF7), and an inverse relationship with inflammation, immunity, and number of senescent cells. Forty-year old individuals with high immune resilience had an expected lifespan approximately 15 years longer than those with low immune resilience.

“I don’t think anyone appreciated the magnitude by which even mild stress, if it’s chronic, can have such a negative influence on cancer growth.” —cancer immunologist Elizabeth Repasky

People with cancer may experience a wide range of stressors, both related and unrelated to the disease. A growing body of evidence suggests that these may influence how a tumor grows and spreads.
