Recent work in the field of cancer neuroscience has demonstrated bidirectional interactions between neurons and cancer cells ultimately influencing neural circuit function, tumor growth, and patient survival. In a recent paper published in Cell Research, Xu et al. take a novel approach, identifying a secretory factor-induced central nervous system-mediated increase in peripheral autonomic sympathetic activity that drives tumor–immune cell interactions and tumor progression across multiple cancer types.
