Cancer-neuron connections resemble ... tumors signaled the sensory nerves to release the peptide Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP), inducing electrical signals in the tumor.

Researchers have found, for the first time, that a cancer outside the brain makes electrical connections with the nervous system to fuel cancer growth and aid its spread.

After establishing this connection, tumors signaled the sensory nerves to release the peptide Calcitonin Gene Related Peptide (CGRP), inducing electrical signals in the tumor. Though the cancer ...
