Effects of supervised exercise on progression-free survival in lymphoma patients: an exploratory follow-up of the HELP Trial

Purpose: Few randomized controlled trials in exercise oncology have examined survival outcomes. Here, we report an exploratory follow-up of progression-free survival (PFS) from the H̱ealthy E̱xercise for Ḻymphoma P̱atients (HELP) Trial. Methods: The HELP Trial randomized 122 lymphoma patients betwee...

Summary:Purpose: Few randomized controlled trials in exercise oncology have examined survival outcomes. Here, we report an exploratory follow-up of progression-free survival (PFS) from the H̱ealthy E̱xercise for Ḻymphoma P̱atients (HELP) Trial. Methods: The HELP Trial randomized 122 lymphoma patients between 2005 and 2008 to either control (n = 62) or 12 weeks of supervised aerobic exercise (n = 60). PFS events were abstracted from medical records in 2013. In addition to the randomized comparison, we explored the effects of exercise adherence (
