Dr. Levitsky: My organization within Roche, Pharma Research and Early Development (pRED), has invested in antibody engineering, not only for use of monoclonal antibodies in the established ways of delivering cell - killing agents to tumors or interrupting cell signalling pathways, but also as ways to engage and manipulate the immune system's response to tumors.

The chronically stressed mice had decreased immune function and experienced tumor development significantly earlier than the non-stressed mice.16 Other mouse studies of ovarian cancer showed that chronic stress resulted in increased cancer growth as well as increased angiogenesis, the process with which cancer forms new blood vessels to feed itself nutrients for growth and metastases.17 Chronic stress has also been shown to decrease our body's ability to mount an attack against foreign invaders, including viruses.18 As we know that several viruses can cause cancer (HPV and cervical cancer, and EBV and nasopharyngeal cancer), we can extrapolate that any decrease in immune function could increase cancer risk.
