A study showed that among all deaths, 60.4% were related to the solar term. The winter mortality rate is the highest among all seasons, with December being the most prominent. So, is the tumor condition really more likely to worsen in winter?
Can tumors easily worsen in winter?
Classic Yang-supporting experts pointed out that from clinical statistics, no signs of "increased tumor recurrence in winter" were found. Patients with cancer recurrence all year round, and there is no particularly big difference. Whether a tumor recurs mainly depends on the type of cancer and the patient's own condition.
It should be emphasized that some solar terms and related studies on tumor recurrence and death are mostly small sample tests, which have certain limitations. The statement that tumors are prone to recur in winter is strictly unscientific.
Why do many tumor patients feel even more uncomfortable in winter?
In the cold winter, tumor patients have much lower body resistance than ordinary people, so their condition is particularly prone to rekindling. In addition, due to the influence of cold weather, tumor patients are more likely to develop negative emotions, giving dormant cancer cells an opportunity to take advantage of.
