Why did I get cancer?

Abstract
Two interesting papers explore the beliefs of individuals (general population, or cancer survivors) on the causes of cancer. They reveal a huge discrepancy between scientifically proven factors and spontaneous opinions, that consider “stress” as the major cause of cancer. This is understandable in terms of psychological needs, and must be taken into account in cancer information campaigns.
