How Does the Parasympathetic Nervous System Interact with Cancer?
The interaction between the PNS and cancer is a complex and evolving area of research. Emerging evidence suggests that the PNS may play a dual role in cancer progression. On one hand, the PNS can promote a state of relaxation and lower stress levels, which may potentially inhibit cancer growth. On the other hand, certain components of the PNS may actually facilitate tumor progression by increasing blood flow to the tumor, thereby providing it with nutrients necessary for growth.
