"Patients under continuous statin treatment developed cancer less frequently and had an improved prognosis compared to patients without statins.
"Potentially, statins might also be indicated after organ transplantation to reduce graft rejection in future. It is known that immune cells which are mediating organ rejection are transported via lymphatic vessels, and there are studies indicating that graft rejection can be reduced if the growth of lymphatic vessels is inhibited. However, according to Detmar, it is imperative to first investigate whether the commonly applied statin dosages are sufficient to reduce growth of lymphatic vessels in humans."
