Details

This study is looking at whether diet and exercise can improve the health of people with chronic lymphocytic leukaemia (CLL).

Doctors know that people with cancer can benefit from a healthy diet and exercise. But most of the research so far has been in people who have a and not a blood cancer such as CLL. So doctors are not sure if there is the same benefit for people with CLL.

Everyone in this study has CLL. The team will compare people who do exercise with people who don’t exercise. The main aim of the study is to find out whether exercise and a healthy diet improves the health of people with CLL.
