depressives; it kills them faster.”

• Various aspects of being diagnosed with and treated for cancer activate inflammation through tissue
damage/destruction and/or psychological stress. Cytokines of the innate immune response along with life
style changes, pain and other consequences of cancer and its treatment alter the sleep-wake cycle, which in
turn contributes to disruption of the neuroendocrine system, in particular, the hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal
(HPA) axis. Given the role of the HPA axis and glucocorticoids in regulating inflammatory responses, altered
HPA axis function may disrupt glucocorticoid-mediated negative regulation of inflammation. Unrestrained
inflammation and the associated increased release of proinflammatory cytokines, in turn, interacts with
central nervous system (CNS) pathways that regulate behavior, leading to pathophysiologic changes that
underlie depression, fatigue, impaired sleep and cognitive dysfunction.
