Abstract
- A growing body of evidence from preclinical and human epidemiology studies of multiple cancer types indicate that physical activity can delay or avert the outgrowth of cancer, in a mechanistic process that may involve exercise-induced alterations to anti-cancer immunity. Many Chronic Lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL) patients present with asymptomatic, early-stage disease that is monitored until disease progression. Thus, exercise may be an effective way to manage disease burden and delay progression in treatment naïve CLL. The primary objective of this pilot study was to investigate the safety and feasibility of an exercise programme in people with treatment naïve CLL, and preliminarily explore the effects of exercise training on CLL counts, body composition, cardiorespiratory fitness, and immune cell phenotypes including T-cells.
