development and metastasis is closely related to the internal and external environment in which it is located. The tumor microenvironment includes not only the institutional and functional metabolism of the tissue in which the tumor is located
but also the intrinsic environment in which the tumor cells themselves are located. Traditional Chinese medicine believes that the physiological function of the human body lies in the dynamic balance between yin and yang. The occurrence of tumor is the result of the imbalance between yin and yang caused by the lack of health qi and pathogenic qi. There is also a constantly changing yin and yang state between different inflammatory factors in the tumor microenvironment. The imbalance between yin and yang is the key to disease progression. Correcting the yin and yang imbalance in the body from both local and global aspects and restoring its dynamic balance are the criteria in the treatment of cancer.
