Exercise Benefits Meet Cancer Immunosurveillance: Implications for Immunotherapy

Regular exercise reduces the risk of cancer. One potential mechanism for this efficacy is improved antitumor immunity.

Here we review recent developments reported by Wennerberg et al., Garritson et al., Martin-Ruiz et al., and Rundqvist et al. on the effects of exercise on anticancer immune cell effectors.
