Core Tip In this review, we propose that the enteric nervous system (ENS) is an active regulator of gastrointestinal malignancies rather than a passive bystander. We summarize how tumors remodel adjacent enteric neuroglial networks and how ENS-derived neurotransmitters and glial signals in turn shape tumor stemness, immune evasion, stromal remodeling, and perineural invasion. We further connect local tumor microenvironment dynamics with systemic brain-gut signaling and highlight druggable neural pathways as potential adjunctive targets for tumor control and symptom management.
