Core Tip
Core tip: Increasing evidence points to the importance of neural regulatory mechanisms in carcinogenesis. However, these mechanisms are not fully understood. A better understanding of these mechanisms could lead to prevention, early detection, and novel therapeutic strategies in various cancers. Consequently, this area of study warrants further investigation.
