Can exercise boost immunotherapy outcomes?
In the latest Immunobuddies episodes (193 & 194), Dr David Bartlett explores how skeletal muscle acts as an endocrine organ, releasing myokines that may shape the tumour microenvironment and immune response.
Key takeaways:
• Exercise isn’t just supportive care — it may actively enhance anti-tumour immunity
• Myokines released during muscle activity can influence inflammation, immune cell trafficking & tumour biology
• The tumour microenvironment is dynamic — and potentially modifiable through lifestyle interventions
• Early evidence suggests exercise could improve immunotherapy effectiveness, but clinical translation is still evolving
Bottom line: Exercise may be a powerful, underutilised adjunct in immuno-oncology — with growing biological rationale and exciting research ahead.
