Abstract
Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) is an emerging interdisciplinary field that explores interactions among the brain, nervous and systems and their collective influence on health and disease. In recent years, growing evidence has highlighted the relevance of PNI in oncology, offering new insights into how stress, neuroimmune signaling, and mental health affect cancer initiation, progression, and therapeutic outcomes. This special issue, “Showcasing PNI Cancer Discoveries in China,” features recent advances from Chinese researchers at the forefront of this field. The articles cover topics ranging from neural regulation of tumor progression and immune responses to the therapeutic potential of traditional Chinese medicine (TCM) and lifestyle interventions. Together, these contributions underscore the critical role of PNI in advancing cancer research and developing more holistic, personalized therapeutic strategies.
