Description
Małgorzata Pudełek and co-authors measure fitness in blood cancer patients in a 2026 study. Patients with chronic lymphoid cancers who receive antibody-based therapy form a growing group of survivors. Staying able-bodied during treatment protects independence and quality of life. The team compared these patients' physical performance with that of healthy controls.
Patients showed weaker lower-body strength and poorer balance and agility, and some had lower exercise capacity. Older age tied to worse performance across the board. The authors argue that fitness checks should be a routine part of care for this group, so limits are caught early and tailored rehabilitation can start in time.
