Definitely YES.
Practically all living things, such as people, animals, and even fish have dormant cells that are cancer in the waiting.
I'll stay with (people) humans. Healthy people don't have stress and seldom get cancer.
People that have much stress sets up a reaction with the immune system that triggers the growth of the dormant cell.
Those cancer cells can manifest into all kinds of problems from heart disease to diabetes. The medical society usually ignores the stress factor and concentrates on the cure.
A little stress once in a while is probably healthy from an adrenalin standpoint. But constant stress and worrying can be a killer. Aging will be expedited.
It is important to understand that stress is only in the mind. It is not easy to rid the feeling of stress.
One must find ways to un-complicate their lifestyle if it is stressful.
You know the answer...you and only you...must resolve that in your mind.

My son has a rare abdominal sarcoma, stage IV. You better believe that we have enormous amounts of stress at the moment . . but guess what I don't have cancer. We just stayed at a Ronald McDonald House with about four other families that have children with cancer. None of the kids appeared stressed out to me . . most of them were playing. The parents were naturally worried . . but . . none of them showed any signs of cancer either.
Stress does not cause cancer . . but cancer is stressful.

Stress can lower your immune system which could open your body to cancer among other things.
