Another one, tying into the theme of "we repress too much anger, it slowly kills us": The Mindbody Prescription

And one more on this theme, When the Body Says No, by Gabor Maté.

The author suggests (amongst other things) that anger suppression can lead to cancer cells not being dealt with by the body as they would normally otherwise be. The evidence is anecdotal, but then it perhaps quite unlikely that we will see clinical studies along these lines any time soon unfortunately.
