Francisco Rallo, vice-president in the province of Castellón of the Spanish Association Against Cancer, gave the lecture “Can we prevent cancer exercising?” at the Conference on Cancer Prevention of the Universitat Jaume I.

‪In his presentation, Rallo stressed the importance of sport not only physically, since it can reduce up to 40% the chances of breast cancer and by 50% the colon cancer, but also psychologically for patients with cancer.  ‪He also said, “a positive attitude towards sport is crucial, and it is also important practicing it in company or with beautiful weather.”

On the other hand, he also wanted to highlight some positive data on the disease.  ‪“Every year cancer mortality is reduced by 1% and more than half of patients cured of cancer live over 70 years”, said Rallo who also said it is important a “culture of prevention” without “being afraid of medication”, that is not to stop going to the medical checking but neither be dependent on them”.

Finally, Rallo stressed the importance of volunteering and psychological support for cancer patients before, during and after treatment, and he wanted to raise awareness in attendees and society in general “no one is born a smoker, drug addict, alcoholic or lazy, every day is ours and we decide to get up in the morning and change habits.”
