Accumulating evidence suggests that the immunological landscape plays a key role in the progression of neuroendocrine liver metastases (LM-NENs), which is often characterised by immune cell infiltration. Anti-tumour functions of infiltrating lymphocytes are often silenced through hyper-expression of inhibitory checkpoint receptors (CRs) such as PD-1, but favourable outcomes with anti-PD-1 therapy have been low. Recently, functional soluble (cell-free) CRs beyond PD-1 have been...
