Secret to Beating Cancer May Be Marriage

Married people are more likely to surivive cancer, according to a new study published in the Journal of Clinical Oncology. According to the find, married people with cancer—all different types—were 20 percent less likely to die, compared to people who had been separated, divorced, widowed, or never married. "It should send a message to anyone who has a friend or loved one with cancer: By being there for that person and helping them navigate their appointments and make it through all their treatments, you can make a real difference to that person's outcome," radiation oncologist Paul Nguyen said.
