Modifiable host factors have demonstrated promise to enhance responses to immunotherapy. In this issue, Savage et al. investigated the use of aerobic exercise to enhance antitumor immunity in a murine model of melanoma. They show that treadmill running improves tumor vasculature and alters both T-cell and myeloid-cell infiltration of the tumor via an ERK5-dependent mechanism, adding to the growing evidence supporting the immune-mediated antitumor effects of exercise.
