    The nervous system actively regulates oncogenesis, influencing tumor proliferation, invasion, and immune evasion through complex interactions.

  • 2

    Neural signals promote tumor dynamics by modulating inflammation, immunosuppression, and cellular metabolism in hepatocellular carcinoma.

  • 3

    Tumors remodel the peripheral nervous system, inducing axonogenesis and neo-innervation, which facilitates disease progression.

  • 4

    Neuro-tumor crosstalk in hepatocellular carcinoma involves sympathetic, parasympathetic, and sensory innervation affecting tumor development.

  • 5

    Understanding neural mechanisms in cancer is crucial for developing targeted neuromodulatory therapies for hepatocellular carcinoma.
