Prostate cancer survival is dependent on season of diagnosis

We have earlier found that the prognosis for several cancers is dependent on season of diagnosis. More recently, both prostate cancer incidence and mortality have been shown to increase with increasing latitude, which probably relates to photosynthesis of vitamin D.
