claimCurrent research on allostasis in the context of cancer is limited by the prevalence of cross-sectional studies, which hinders causal inference and the ability to determine the long-term effects of allostatic load on cancer outcomes.

claimChronic diseases, including cancer, impose an allostatic load on the immune system.

claimRecent research has expanded the focus of allostasis beyond neuropsychological conditions to include the role of allostatic load and overload in the development of immune-mediated diseases and cancer.
