Current research shows that cancer cells can secrete cytokines to promote the differentiation and growth of nerve cells, in turn, the differentiation and growth of nerve cells can stimulate tumor development and metastasis. Neurogenesis is one way of interaction bettween tumor cells and microenvironment similar to angiogenesis and lymphangiogenesis, which has a major impact on biological behavior of tumor cells and prognosis.
