The Prevalence of Prostate Urinary Bladder and Kidney Cancer Among Homeland War Veterans
Relevant literature mentions exposure to war events as a significant factor in the emergence of not only mental but also physical illnesses. Enormous effort is being put into finding new and better ways of treatment while, at the same time, efforts are expended on the development and acquisition of weapons and other material that could cause disease and adverse health outcomes. Wartime events always cause a large amount of stress associated with the emergence of malignant neoplasms. It is well-known that hormones such as cortisol, norepinephrine and adrenaline, which are released during stressful situations, change the immune status of the body and the ability to fight cancer. Thus, psychological and neurophysiological occurrences in the body are crucial for immune system functioning or the ability of the body to efficiently cope with stressful situations. With regard to long-term exposure to war, we expect a more frequent prevalence of prostate, urinary bladder and kidney cancer among the Homeland War veterans compared to the general male population aged 50 to 70.
