This paper systematically reviews the theoretical origin of academic theory of "strengthening body resistance"in treating cancer and its process of development and maturity. On the basis of the related researches about this theory
the authors elucidate the scientific connotation and theory extension further. They put forward the theory of "consolidating body resistance and clearing the source"and discuss the application from the aspects of clinical and basic research. This paper proves that the theory of "consolidating body resistance and clearing the source"could help to take characteristics and advantages of modern Chinese medicine in the treatment of cancer
