the claim

A cancer patient's fighting spirit improves their chances of survival.

the verdict
REFUTED
the evidence says no
Recorded sources
1 source for · 1 against

Counts group repeated records of the same source within each side. They do not measure evidence strength or source independence.

Is it true that a cancer patient's fighting spirit improves their chances of survival?

No. A study of online support groups reports that its findings, in concert with prior studies, failed to find a linkage between positive outcome and an attitude of fighting spirit, while other retrieved items link fighting spirit only to psychological distress, chemotherapy compliance, or mental adjustment rather than survival.
