What is the cause of pancreatic cancer in TCM

What is the cause of pancreatic cancer in TCM? Although there is no record of pancreatic cancer in TCM, in terms of its clinical manifestations, this disease belongs to the category of "chest congestion", "jaundice", "chest pain" and so on in TCM, and there are many discussions on its etiology and pathogenesis. For example, "Zhengzhi Huibu" records: "The beginning of the accumulation is due to irregular living, excessive worry, improper diet, spleen and stomach deficiency, and the struggle between evil and righteousness, which accumulates in the abdomen."

It is generally believed that the onset of pancreatic cancer is closely related to diet, emotions, and environmental carcinogens. For example, addiction to tobacco and alcohol are considered to be factors that induce pancreatic cancer. Emotional frustration and internal injuries can lead to dysfunction of the qi and blood of the internal organs, which can also induce tumors. In addition, people who live in an environment polluted by carcinogens for a long time have a significantly higher incidence of tumors. Modern medicine also believes that chronic pancreatitis is also related to the onset of pancreatic cancer.
In short, the occurrence of pancreatic cancer is related to a variety of pathogenic factors inside and outside the body. Due to insufficient vital energy, weak internal organs or emotional frustration, internal injuries from diet, the functions of internal organs are damaged, and external evils take advantage of the opportunity to enter the body, resulting in poor circulation of qi and blood, stagnation of qi and blood, which remain for a long time and gradually form a lump.
