When someone is diagnosed with cancer, we often see comments like “keep fighting, you’ve got this!”. Is there any scientific basis behind this actually having an effect on the outcome / survival and remission rates? What exactly are they doing when they’re “fighting” that helps to beat the cancer?

My father and one of my brothers are medical doctors, and in despite of believing only in facts, they have told me that positive actitudes can make a huge difference in getting better, living longer or in the quality of life when someone has cancer.
If the cancer is really an agresive one the will die anyway but maybe the person will live longer.
That’s what they told me, I’m not a doctor.
