Modern approaches to the identification of stress biomarkers such as cortisol, alpha-amylase, cytokines and others, their effect on the immune response and metabolic processes that play a key role in the development of tumors are considered. It is emphasized that a high level of stress contributes to a violation of immune homeostasis and can increase inflammatory processes, which, in turn, negatively affects the course of the disease. Important attention is paid to the role of psychological and psychological support, including cognitive behavioral therapy, meditation, relaxation practices and group therapy. These methods can reduce stress levels, improve the psychoemotional state of patients and increase their commitment to treatment. Examples of the integration of psycho-oncological methods into standard cancer treatment programs are given.
