Can tumors be psychosomatic?

I'm watching Star Trek DS9 and the doctor just said tumors can manifest psychosomatically. Is that a medical idea from when the show was being made in the 90's? Do you think the writers were just taking liberties? I can't find anything today about psychosomatic tumors, except helping cancer patients minimize and deal with psychosomatic symptoms.

    I KNOW the writers were taking liberties. Every doctor knows that a tumor is when cells divide too fast. there's nothing psychosomatic about tumors
