Abstract
Olfactory receptors (ORs) are a class of G protein-coupled receptors (GPCR) widely distributed in olfactory sensory neurons and various non-olfactory tissues, serving significant physiological and pathological functions in the human body. Increasing evidence reveals the heightened expression of olfactory receptors in tumorous tissues and cells alongside normal tissues. Olfactory receptors have demonstrated influence over tumor cell proliferation and metastasis, establishing a close relationship with tumor initiation and progression. This review highlights the specific molecular actions and signaling pathways of olfactory receptors in the development of human tumors. The potential for precise tumor diagnosis and targeted therapy through therapeutic targeting of olfactory receptors as an adjunct anticancer treatment strategy is being considered.
