TCM theory of manifestation and root cause which originates in Nei Jing is valuable to guide the prevention and treatment of malignant tumor.It is a specific method for research and analysis of manifestation and essence of diseases.This theory focuses on the diagnosis of tumor,proposes that etiological diagnosis of tumor is the most important.The carcinogenic factors,yin-yang disharmony and visceral dysfunction are the root causes and the formation of tumor and exterior pathogens are the manifestations.The theory emphasize on the diagnosis and treatment before the formation of tumor,dialectic relationship between the tumor and the system,strengthening the body resistance and driving away evil(treating both manifestation and root cause of disease).On the basis of human,improvement of survival period and quality of life is more important than tumor size;prevention is more important than treatment.
