Abstract

A growing body of epidemiologic and clinical evidence points to a significant role of biobehavioral and associated neuroendocrine factors on cancer growth and progression. This review provides an overview of the emerging relationships between neuroendocrine pathways and ovarian cancer progression. The primary focus of this review is on the contributions of neuroendocrine influences on cancer cell biology and tumor microenvironment in ovarian cancer. This mechanistic understanding will inform new opportunities for pharmacological and behavioral interventions for improving the outcome of ovarian cancer patients.
