Moreover, no studies have explored the effect of 5-HT or SSRIs on ovarian neoplastic cell growth. To address these knowledge gaps, we characterized 5-HT receptor expression in ovarian cancer cells and investigated the functional and biological roles of 5-HT using in vitro and in vivo models. In addition, this multicenter study examined effects of SSRIs on survival and disease progression in patients diagnosed with epithelial ovarian cancer.....
