🫁 New research: Just 10 weeks of training can boost lung function in kids with cystic fibrosis. ✅ Endurance ✅ Resistance ✅ Best of all? Concurrent training 💪 Improved pulmonary function & quality of life. Exercise is medicine. #CysticFibrosis #PedsCare #ClinicalTrials
Great work from my PhD student @EllieeMiles on her 1st of many papers on #CLL in @e_JHaem. She shows that being physically active with CLL is associated with better QoL & reduced symptoms of CLL, including fatigue, pain, and physical limitations. onlinelibrary.wiley.com/doi/10.1002/jh…
'Exercise during chemotherapy may help immune cells fight cancer' Learn more about this research, which Topic of Cancer has proudly supported, a first-of-its-kind pilot study from @UniOfSurrey and @RoyalSurrey medicalxpress.com/news/2025-06-c…
Honoured to present our from the i3 collaborative w/ @UTSEngage work using #DigitalTech to support independence & wellbeing in #AdvancedCancer Great questions & discussions, so grateful to share & learn w/ the #MASCC community! #DigitalHealth #CancerCare #SupportiveOncology
Presented at #EHA2025: Among patients with chronic lymphocytic leukemia, undetectable MRD and progression-free survival were more common with ibrutinib–venetoclax than with ibrutinib alone or chemoimmunotherapy, with benefits sustained at 5 years. Full FLAIR phase 3 trial…
CLL13 longer follow up - huge study and great presentation. Though GIV is superior, I would not use as SOC since the duration of therapy is longer (range 12-36 months) than ven/obi which is still quite excellent (and always 1 yr). And yes MRD still matters! #EHA25 #EHA2025
Often labeled a backup fuel, ketone bodies are actually metabolic multitaskers; regulating inflammation, gene expression & epigenetics. 🧬 A new AEHS study explores their role in exercise and recovery. 🔗bit.ly/3FwKBFp #AEHS #Ketones #ExerciseScience #MetabolicHealth

A new Yale study shows for the first time that immune-system T cells are present in the brain, sent by the gut to a region that regulates hunger and thirst — a finding about T-cell physiology “that changes everything,” says one researcher: bit.ly/4mB9O1Q #Yale
What an exciting few weeks for our team! We had a blast presenting our work and attending #ACSM in Georgia and #ASCO in Chicago. Huge kudos to Mary and Jocelyn for bringing our research to the scientific community!
Exercise has proven benefits for people with leukemia which is why being stuck at home due to the pandemic can be especially stressful even if its safer. Have you adapted with a home workout routine? Share in the discussion:myleukemiateam.com/resources/how-…
Standing ovation at @ASCO for the Challenge Trial. Take a look at this comparison of the magnitude of the exercise effect from Challenge versus multiple drug effects.
bbc.co.uk/news/articles/… Great to finally see this out, but @CR_UK nailed it for the UK-get it sorted @wesstreeting "This trial has the potential to transform clinical practice, but only if health services have the necessary funding and staff to make it a reality for patients"
Presented at #ASCO25: A 3-year structured exercise program after adjuvant chemotherapy for colon cancer improved disease-free and overall survival, physical functioning, and fitness, as compared with health education alone. Full CHALLENGE phase 3 trial results:…
Every 14 mins someone in the UK is diagnosed with blood cancer. CLL is the most common of these blood cancers in adults. On #WorldBloodCancerDay let's honour those we have lost, support those living with blood cancer and raise awareness for better diagnosis and treatment options.
If you have CLL, treatment decisions can be overwhelming. CLL Society’s Ambassador Program connects you with a patient who's had the treatment you're considering to answer questions & offer honest insights to help you feel more confident in your choices: bit.ly/43OSZK9
