A Lens on Caregiver Stress in Cancer: Longitudinal Investigation of Cancer-Related Stress and Telomere Length Among Family Caregivers of Adult Patients with Cancer.

Findings suggest the need to better understand how the perceived stress of colorectal cancer caregivers, which tends to be intense for a relatively short period compared to dementia caregiving, may impact immune cell distributions and telomere length. These findings emphasize the need for further knowledge about psycho-biological mechanisms of how cancer caregiving may impact cellular aging.
