Effect of the autonomic nervous system on cancer progression depends on the type of tumor: solid are more affected then ascitic tumors

Objectives. A number of recently published studies have shown that the sympathetic nervous system may influence cancer progression. There are, however, some ambiguities about the role of the parasympathetic nerves in the modulation of growth of different tumor types. Moreover, tumor models used for...

A number of recently published studies have shown that the sympathetic nervous system may influence cancer progression.

Moreover, tumor models used for investigation of the autonomic neurotransmission role in the processes related to the cancer growth and progression are mainly of the solid nature. The knowledge about the nervous system involvement in the modulation of the development and progression of malignant ascites is only fragmental. Therefore, the aim of the present article was to summarize the results of our experimental studies focused on the elucidation of the role of the autonomic nervous system in the modulation of tumor growth in animals. We are summarizing data from studies, in which not only different experimental approaches in order to influence the autonomic neurotransmission, but also different tumor models have been used.https://doi.org/10.1515/enr-2016-0023sympathectomysubdiaphragmatic vagotomytumor growthvagus nerve stimulation
