Alejandro Lucia on Physical Exercise and Anti-Cancer Immunity I MLS26

Can exercise train your immune system to fight cancer? In this session from *The Immune System Across the Lifespan: Decline, Adaptation, and Longevity* at the *Milan Longevity Summit 2026*, *Professor Alejandro Lucia* explores the powerful connection between physical activity, the immune system, and cancer prevention. Beyond improving fitness and cardiovascular health, exercise has profound effects on immune function, inflammation, and the body's ability to detect and eliminate abnormal cells. Professor Lucia examines the latest evidence showing how regular physical activity can strengthen anti-cancer immunity, improve treatment outcomes, and become a key pillar of healthy ageing and disease prevention. Professor Alejandro Lucia is Professor of Exercise Physiology at the *European University of Madrid* and one of the world's leading researchers in exercise science and human performance. His work spans exercise oncology, ageing, cardiovascular health, and the molecular adaptations to physical activity, demonstrating how movement can influence longevity and resilience throughout life. The Milan Longevity Summit brings together global leaders across science, medicine, policy, business, technology and society to rethink the future of health through a *One Health* perspective—recognising that the wellbeing of people, planet and economies is deeply interconnected. *Learn more about the Milan Longevity Summit:* https://www.milanlongevitysummit.org/it/speakers26/alejandro-lucia #MilanLongevitySummit #Longevity #OneHealth #AlejandroLucia #ExerciseMedicine #ExerciseOncology #ImmuneHealth #CancerResearch #HealthyAgeing #Healthspan
