| Serotonin (5-hydroxytryptamine or 5-HT) is best known as a neurotransmitter; however, it also plays diverse roles in peripheral tissues, including modulation of cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and immune responses. Several studies have identified the expression of multiple 5-HT receptors (e.g., 5-HT1A, 5-HT2A, and 5-HT7) in breast cancer cells. Serotonin may promote tumor cell proliferation and can influence breast cancer progression through receptor-mediated signaling pathways. Expression of 5-HT and its receptors is documented in various cancers including breast, colorectal, pancreatic, prostate, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Overexpression of particular 5-HT receptors often correlates with increased cell proliferation, angiogenesis, and metastatic potential. High levels of 5-HT receptor expression generally serve as a marker for poor prognosis, although the exact prognostic implications vary depending on the specific receptor subtype and tumor type. -Vomiting caused by chemotherapy was thought to result from the fact that the chemotherapeutics stimulated the secretion of 5-HT in intestinal chromaffin cells, and then 5-HT acted on 5-HT receptor which caused excitation of nerves and vomiting reflex. |
| Bronchial Carcinoid Cancer
Bronchial carcinoid tumors are a type of neuroendocrine tumor that originates within the bronchial tubes (airways) of the lungs. While they are often considered a form of lung cancer, bronchial carcinoids usually have a distinct biological behavior compared to other more common types of lung cancer, such as non-small cell or small cell lung cancer. |
