普里高津认为在热力学领域，存在两种不同的定态，一种是平衡态，它是熵极大的无序化状态，另一种是有序稳定态，即由于负熵流的存在而呈现的最小熵产生定态。但是，这个最小熵应该是正常状态下的最小熵，本文提出人体有可能处于比稳定状态的最小熵更小的状态，而肿瘤的发生很可能是低于稳定态的熵减小。

According to Prigogine, there exist two different steady states in thermodynamics. One is the equilibrium state, which is in the disorderly state with the maximum entropy; the other is the ordered stable state, that is, the minimum entropy produces the steady state because of the presence of negative entropy flow., but the minimum entropy should be the normal state of the minimum entropy. The author suggests that the human body may be in the state of smaller than the steady state of the minimum entropy, and cancer may be caused by the entropy decreased to a lower steady state.
