Correct! Worth checking the work of Gabor Mate on this. He claims that trauma is the key.

Dr. Gabor Maté appears to be a quack trying to sell some dubious books and courses. His hypotheses are not supported on an evidence-based medicine basis.
I thought that the emotional life-history pattern of cancer patients is quite well researched and linking trauma, anxiety and stress to cancer is not his hypothesis, he is just popularizing it.
