What connects the lie with cancer? The lie represents the word and language, while the name of the cancer refers to the reality of the body. This essay attempts to examine the development of cancer from the perspective of psychoanalysis. For there are the eyes of the soul, just as there are the "eyes of language" according to Derrida. The lie in question is a life lie and differs from that creative and indispensable everyday lie as a product of language, such as in myth, narrative, literature, or humor. This lie is subject to the laws of narration and gives rise to life, while the life lie undermines the laws of language and results in petrification. It is suspected that the subject of cancer represents a pure subject that lacks a sustaining subjectivity.
