With a potential prevalence of LLL as high as 40%, further evaluation of diagnostic methods is required to better characterize this side effect of ovarian cancer treatment. No adverse effect of exercise on LLL was found. Further research is strongly needed to evaluate predictors of LLL and the effects of exercise on LLL in order to develop effective physical activity recommendations for women with ovarian cancer.
