The spread of cancer cells follows a distinct time pattern. At what time of day do cancer cells spread the fastest? Scientists have found the answer: It is when people are sound asleep at night.
A Major Culprit of Cancer Metastasis
Over the past decade, cancer metastasis has been a major focus of clinical cancer research.According to a 2021 study published in Signal Transduction and Targeted Therapy, metastasis is the most lethal aspect of cancer. For example, the earliest stage of breast cancer has a nearly 100 percent chance of survival within five years; however, when breast cancer metastasizes to other places such as the lungs and bones, the survival rate plummets to around 30 percent. Deaths due to cancer metastasis account for more than 90 percent of cancer-related deaths.
