Abstract

At present, breast cancer is the largest malignant tumor endangering women’s health, and has become one of the most common cancer types in the world. In recent years, the relationship between psychosocial factors and the incidence of breast cancer has attracted extensive attention. Traditional Chinese medicine research of the motherland suggests that emotional disorder is an important factor leading to breast cancer, and emotional theory and negative emotional accumulation have something in common in some aspects. This article reviews the impact of negative emotions on the risk of breast cancer and the current research progress and explores the possibility of reducing the progress of breast cancer and improving the quality of life of breast cancer patients through negative emotion intervention.
