Abstract In preclinical studies serotonin stimulates and dopamine inhibits tumour growth and angiogenesis. Information regarding serotonin and dopamine receptor (5-HTR and DRD) expression in human cancers is limited. Therefore, we screened a large tumour set…

Abstract Immune checkpoint inhibitors targeting programmed cell death protein 1 (PD‐1) and programmed death‐ligand 1 (PD‐L1) have improved the survival of patients with non‐small cell lung cancer (NSCLC). Still, many patients do not respond to…
