AbstractDespite substantial evidence emphasizing the pleiotropic benefits of exercise for the prevention and treatment of various diseases, the underlying biological mechanisms have not been fully elucidated. Several exercise benefits have been attributed to signaling molecules that are released in response to exercise by different tissues such as skeletal muscle, cardiac muscle, adipose, and liver tissue.

With great interest, we have read the Perspective article by Fiuza-Luces et al.1 on exercise-induced anticancer immunity. The authors highlighted a well-known theory that exercise-induced immunosurveillance — with a prominent role for natural killer (NK) cells — may underpin the anticancer effects of physical activity in humans.
