Use of Exercise to Increase CD4 (+) T Lymphocytes Following Chemotheraphy Treatment for Breast Cancer

T helper, CD4+ lymphocytes, recover slowly following chemotherapy. in healthy females. Exercise increased CD4+ cells. Our goal was to determine if exercise helped CD4+ cells recover following chemotherapy. Blood lymphocytes, before and after chemotherapy/radiation and 3 and 6 months of exercise were assayed for proliferation and for expression of leukocyte antigens. Following fitness testing, the subjects exercised with a trainer.
