Can a workout fight breast cancer cells? new study investigates

NCT ID NCT07439458

First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026

Summary

This study looks at how a single session of aerobic exercise—either moderate or high intensity—affects breast cancer cells in the lab. Researchers will take blood from breast cancer survivors before and after exercise, then see if that blood slows the growth of breast cancer cells. They will also measure proteins released during exercise that might fight cancer. The goal is to understand which type of exercise might be best for cancer survivors.
