Abstract: Based on the understanding of the causes of disease in the Yellow Emperor’s Classic of Internal Medicine, the pathogenesis of disease is mainly divided into two aspects: internal injury and external sensation. However, the strength of the body’s positive qi determines whether the disease is invaded by the six external sensations and therefore emphasizes the dominant role of internal causes in the pathogenesis. Cancer is a malignant disease caused by the dysfunction of the internal organs of the body. It is not caused by external evil, but by the abnormal internal growth of the body. By analysing the important influence of emotions in the process of cancer development, it is suggested that in the clinical treatment and rehabilitation of cancer, focusing on the regulation of emotions can help improve the internal environment of the patient’s body as a whole and promote the recovery of cancer.
