Mol Cell Oncol. 2016 Apr 15;3(4):e1163005. doi: 10.1080/23723556.2016.1163005. eCollection 2016 Jul.

Abstract

We recently demonstrated that voluntary exercise leads to an influx of immune cells in tumors and a greater than 60% reduction in tumor incidence and growth across several mouse models. Improved immunological control of tumor progression may have important clinical implications in the prevention and treatment of cancer in humans.

Keywords: Exercise; NK cells; immune infiltration; tumor growth.
