The San Antonio Express News yesterday reported that a local immunologist and professor of medicine at The University of Texas Health Science Center here in San Antonio has recently been awarded a two-year, 450,000 dollar grant, from the National Cancer Institute to study the possible connection between a drug and cancer prevention. The drug in question, Rapamycin, was first approved as an anti-rejection drug for transplant patients. However, doctors have begun theorizing that the drug's known anti-aging properties could also possibly help boost the immune system's response to attacking and killing cancer cells as soon as they appear.
