Cancer cells can appear anywhere in the body, where they multiply and metastasize to other organs—this is also the cause of death in 90% of cancer patients.
Have you ever thought that, when night falls and we drift into sleep, cancer cells may actually have a greater chance to metastasize more aggressively?
A new study published on June 22 in Nature aimed to explore when cancer cells are most likely to metastasize.
To determine the concentration of circulating cancer cells in the human body while awake and asleep, researchers collected blood samples from 30 women with breast cancer. They found that cancer cells multiplied 78.3% more during nighttime rest.
At the same time, the findings also showed that cancer cells are much more likely to spread when they grow at night.
Professor Chen Xiaobing (Henan Research Hospital Association and Henan Cancer Hospital) stated that many cancer patients suffer from insomnia. Nighttime is actually a very good period to detect whether one might have cancer.
If these signals occur at night, you should be alert—they may mean that cancer has been present in your body without your knowledge.
If you notice these 3 signs every night before going to bed, be careful that cancer cells may be “growing” in your body
