The Kardashians have conquered Hollywood, but are Kim, Kourtney and Khloé now helping to cure cancer?

We kid you not.

Just ask Survivor champ and cancer survivor Ethan Zohn...

"Whenever he's sick or having a down day we use that to keep up with our Kardashians," Zohn's long-time girlfriend Jenna Morasca told us this weekend at Chase's American Giving Awards in L.A.

The Survivor: Africa winner announced in early November that, after 20 months in remission from Hodgkin's lymphoma, his cancer had returned.

"Keeping Up With the Kardashians is curing cancer. You can quote me on that," Zohn said. "Tell Kim and Khloé and Kourtney and Scott [Disick]. Scott's my favorite.

"He is just honest and he tells it like it is," Zohn continued. "He says stuff that everyone really wants to say but they don't have the balls to say it."

As for how he's feeling, the 37-year-old explained, "Right now, I'm feeling great. I'm on a new drug called SGN-35, a more targeted therapy. It only targets the bad cancer cells inside my body."

And as always, Zohn assured us, "I'm keeping a postitive attitude."
