Core Tip This article presents a novel perspective on the role of neural signaling in orchestrating tumor progression through the neuro-metabolic-immune axis within the tumor microenvironment. It illustrates that neurotransmitters can directly regulate immune evasion while also mediating metabolic reprogramming, thereby indirectly facilitating immunosuppression. This integrative framework unveils a dynamic bidirectional network wherein neural signals coordinate both metabolic and immune adaptations, offering new therapeutic targets aimed at disrupting this axis to enhance conventional cancer treatments.
