    Neuro-immune interactions significantly influence tumor progression, immune regulation, and therapeutic strategies in cancer.

  • 2

    The tumor microenvironment is a complex ecosystem that includes not only cancer cells but also various non-malignant cell types.

  • 3

    Perineural invasion is recognized as a key route for cancer cell spread and contributes to the immunosuppressive environment in solid tumors.

  • 4

    Neural elements such as nerve fibers and neurotransmitters play active roles in tumor biology, challenging previous beliefs about tumor innervation.

  • 5

    Understanding tissue-specific neuro-immune profiles is essential for developing targeted therapeutic strategies in cancer treatment.
