Can Parasympathetic Activity Influence Tumor Microenvironment?
Yes, parasympathetic activity can influence the tumor microenvironment. Tumors are not just masses of cancerous cells; they are complex ecosystems involving cancer cells, immune cells, and various other types of cells. The PNS can impact this microenvironment by modulating immune responses and altering the levels of various signaling molecules. This modulation can either retard or accelerate tumor growth depending on the context.
