    Abstract

    Cancer remains one of the most difficult and elusive disorders to prevent and treat, despite great efforts in research and treatment over the last 30 years. Researchers have tried to understand the pathogenesis of cancer by discovering the single cellular mechanism or pathway derived from a genetic mutation. There are limited efforts made toward discovering a unified concept of cancer. We propose a neuro-bioenergetic concept of cancer pathogenesis based on the central mechanism of cellular hyperexcitability via inducible overexpression of voltage-gated ion channels, ligand-gated channels and neurotransmitters. Exploration of this concept could lead to a better understanding of the cause of cancer as well as developing more effective and specific strategies toward cancer prevention and treatment.
