the claim

Chronically elevated cortisol levels are linked to a higher risk of cancer.

the verdict
CONTESTED PARTIAL
Recorded sources
1 source for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that Chronically elevated cortisol levels are linked to a higher risk of cancer?

Partly. One Mendelian randomisation study reports genetically predicted plasma cortisol associated with higher odds of endometrial cancer only, with no evidence for other cancers or overall cancer, while a review notes chronic stress and cancer findings are conflicting and that cortisol is often elevated in patients who already have advanced cancer.
