Mind & Body, Nurture & Nature Psycho-Genomics cancer research
Psycho-Genomics Research Institute Inc, situated in Albury, NSW, Australia is launching a new front to fight cancers affecting men and women through a psycho-genomics focus. It is seeking views and inputs into its research direction.
We begin to join some research dots, we believe, for the first time anywhere with a psycho-genomics focus. We are looking for cancer diagnostic, treatment and prevention opportunities for men and women from across their psychological indicators to the DNA and the entire genes pool.
One of the Psycho-Genomivs Research Institute’s findings in its paper notes that the immune system could play a central role in cancer treatment and progression.
Four earlier research outcomes provide a clue that by undertaking a cross sectional psycho-genomics cancer examinations from psychological factors through our immune system to our DNA, we may impact on cancer treatment and progression strategies.
The four different and unrelated research findings dealing with the immune system and possible psycho-genomics cancer research opportunities, expanded on in its paper, note (1) that it may be possible to find ways to use the immune system to contain cancer noted in a 2007 research finding that involved a researcher from the MacCallum Cancer Immunology Program in Melbourne; (2) that psychological factors, such as stress, depression and social support are able to modulate many of the immunologic activities relevant to patients with malignant disease; (3) that emotional expression may improve immune function and perhaps promote longer survival, and (4) that psychosocial factors such as social support and distress are associated with changes in the cellular immune response.
By joining these research findings into a single psycho-genomics research window, could it be that psychological and/or psychosocial interventions can also control cancers through addressing the immune system?
The answer to this and other questions are at the forefront of the Psycho_genomics Research Institute’s clinically and scientifically based new and expanded research direction for cancers. The Institute’s full research paper can be found at www.psycho-genomics.org in its Stroy Board Talking Point article.
Psycho-genomics cancer research is a study of treatment, prevention and diagnostic strategies by looking at cancer, non-cancer and survival populations taking into account their psychological, psychosocial, emotional, physiological, DNA and genomics (the entire genes pool and genes functions) pathways.
