An Innovative Model for Cancer: Interdisciplinary Research Involving Biology and Psychology

BACKGROUND: Malignant tumors are diseases that seriously threaten the human health. However, the etiologies of most human tumors, including many solid malignant tumors and hematological malignancies, are currently unclear. METHODS: In this study, a conceptual model of the physiological human body, based on the view of life and the environment, was established using physical modeling. RESULTS: This model was used to provide reasonable explanations for tumor-related questions, predict framework for cancer treatment, and suggest intervention techniques for before and after the diagnosis. The inferences made using this model were also consistent with the biopsychosocial model used in modern medicine and with the requirement of holism in traditional medicine. CONCLUSIONS: The model proposed in this study will provide novel ideas for the treatment of cancer.
