Study : Cold Weather Make Cancer Grow Faster
In addition to food and cigarettes , there is one new thing that can increase the development of cancer . A recent study revealed that cold temperatures also can increase the growth and spread of cancer .
The study has been published in The Proceedings of the National Academy of Science found that mice that lived in a relatively cool environment has a cancer that grows more quickly and aggressively , when compared to other mice that lived warm and comfortable temperatures .
Reported by Max Health News , Thursday ( 21/11/2013 ) , cool environment is believed to promote the growth of some types of cancer , including breast cancer , skin cancer , colon cancer , and pancreatic cancer .
According to researchers from the Roswell Park Cancer Institute , no matter whether the rats had spent their entire lives in a cold environment before or after getting cancer , their tumors continued to grow faster in colder environments .
Researchers speculate that this occurs because the cold weather can affect cancer cells known as T cells In this study it was found that T cells in the mice that live in warmer environments is faster moving and more able to fight tumors , compared with T cells in mice in a cold environment .
In tumor owned by rats in a cold environment , there are cells that can turn off the normal immune response in greater numbers . As a result , the cold temperature tends to shift the body's response is supposed to ' fight ' the tumor to ' accept ' the tumor .
