Humanistic Health Management and Cancer: Associations of Psychology, Nutrition, and Exercise with Cancer Progression and Pathogenesis

The incidence rate of cancer is increasing year by year due to the aging of the population, unhealthy living, and eating habits. At present, surgery and medication are still the main treatments for cancer, without paying attention to the impact of individual differences in health management on cancer. However, increasing evidence suggests that individual psychological status, dietary habits, and exercise frequency are closely related to the risk and prognosis of cancer. The reminder to humanity is that the medical concept of the unified treatment plan is insufficient in cancer treatment, and a personalized treatment plan may become a breakthrough point. On this basis, the concept of "Humanistic Health Management" (HHM) is proposed. This concept is a healthcare plan that focuses on self-health management, providing an accurate and comprehensive evaluation of individual lifestyle habits, psychology, and health status, and developing personalized and targeted comprehensive cancer prevention and treatment plans. This review will provide a detailed explanation of the relationship between psychological status, dietary, and exercise habits, and the regulatory mechanisms of cancer. Intended to emphasize the importance of HHM concept in cancer prevention and better prognostic efficacy, providing new ideas for the new generation of cancer treatment. The occurrence of cancer is directly related to personal life habits. Through self-health management, cancer can be effectively prevented and treated. Therefore, the concept of humanistic health management is put forward, which is a new personalized and comprehensive cancer prevention and control program involving individual psychological conditions, living habits, diet structure, sports characteristics, and other aspects. This review systematically discusses the relationship between psychology, nutrition, exercise, and cancer prevention, occurrence, and development. The aim is to improve people's view of the relationship between daily behavior and cancer from the perspective of overall development, and consciously practice the humanistic health concept. image
