SPONSORED: Researchers at UT Health San Antonio will study whether cyclosporin could help some women with breast cancer.
Over the next three years, Virginia Kaklamani, MD, DSc, will study cyclosporin in women newly diagnosed with one type of inherited breast cancer who have not yet received any treatment. Dr. Kaklamani leads the Breast Oncology Program for the Mays Cancer Center at UT Health San Antonio.
In the cyclosporin study, UT Health San Antonio’s missions of patient care and scientific discovery are powerfully fused. The hope is another treatment option to help our mothers and daughters, sisters and aunts, neighbors and friends. Breast cancer is diagnosed in 300,000 people, predominantly women, annually in the U.S., including more than 20,000 new cases a year in Texas. Breast cancer is expected to result in more than 43,000 deaths in 2023.
“These patients not only have to deal with a range of complex emotions, but they also have to make a life-altering decision of whether to enroll in a clinical study,” Kaklamani said. “We applaud them. They are the true heroes in what we do.”
