<p class="jove_content">This narrative review explores the biological mechanisms linking depression to lung cancer progression, focusing on neuroendocrine and immune pathways. It also examines evidence for the antitumor potential of various antidepressant classes. Understanding these interactions may inform integrated treatment strategies to improve outcomes for lung cancer patients with comorbid depression.</p>
