Overview

• A single resistance or high-intensity interval training session raises anti-cancer myokine levels by 20–30% in breast cancer survivors
• Measurements taken before, immediately after and 30 minutes post-exercise confirm sustained myokine elevation across both workout types
• Regular exercise reduces fat mass, increases lean muscle and lowers chronic inflammation linked to tumor progression and recurrence
• Rapid weight loss without concurrent muscle-building exercise fails to elicit comparable anti-tumor protein responses
• Experts are advocating for the integration of structured exercise programs into standard oncology care and are calling for further research on long-term impacts on cancer recurrence
