Several studies have demonstrated that the GABAergic system may regulate tumor development via GABA receptors, downstream cyclic adenosine monophosphate (cAMP) pathway, epithelial growth factor receptor (EGFR) pathway, AKT pathway, mitogen‐activated protein kinase (MAPK) or extracellular signal‐related kinases (ERK) pathway, and matrix metalloproteinase (MMP) pathway, although the exact mechanism is unclear. This evidence concerns the gene EGFR and neoplasm.
