I know rapamycin is generally used as an immunosuppresive agent in the treatment of organ transplantation (kidney transplantation) and works through inhibiting the mTORC1 complex. Additionally, due to the inhibition of mTORC1, rapamycin also produce some anticancer effect. So, my question is, if the immunity get suppressed because of rapamycin effect how it will provide anti-cancer effect? As cancer cells could proliferate more due to the low immunity of the body. Looking forward to hearing from the experts. Thanks in advance.
