The rector of the Universitat Jaume I, Eva Alcón, and the mayoress of Castelló de la Plana City Council, Begoña Carrasco, have signed a collaboration agreement to support the Chair in Physical Activity and Oncology José Soriano Ramos Foundation (CAFO). Specifically, the City Council will contribute 20,000 euros to the different programmes developed by the chair, aimed at improving the health, quality of life and well-being of cancer patients.

The event was also attended by the vice-rector for Innovation, Transfer and Scientific Dissemination, David Cabedo; the director of the Chair and dean of the Faculty of Health Sciences, Eladio Collado, and Elena García, head of the physical exercise programmes and co-director of the Chair.

The rector of the UJI, Eva Alcón, has valued the adhesion of the Castelló City Council to the Chair "because the sum of efforts multiplies the positive effects and reaches more people; and more in a programme like this, whose main objective is to give hope and quality of life to people with cancer, helping them to have a good physical and emotional state throughout the treatment of the disease". Alcón stressed the importance of continuing to strengthen initiatives that allow progress to be made in tackling diseases such as cancer and guaranteed that "at the University we provide all possible resources: knowledge, research and transfer, in order to improve people's quality of life and wellbeing".

The mayoress of Castelló, Begoña Carrasco, pointed out that "this contribution serves to show our support for all this work for the benefit of families in Castelló who suffer the impact of cancer, especially women suffering from breast cancer" and stressed the importance of having entities such as the Chair that are committed to cancer research. In this line, he pointed out that "from the administrations we must provide resources and facilitate tools for research that open the door to new therapies and so that cancer has less and less incidence".

Finally, the director of the Chair, Eladio Collado, stressed that "this agreement is of special interest to the Chair, given that CAFO was created at the UJI in the city of Castelló and works mainly with patients from hospitals in this town, making it a strategic priority".

The Chair in Physical Activity and Oncology José Soriano Ramos Foundation has been working with the medical oncology service since 2021 and, through different physical exercise programmes, has worked with more than 300 oncology patients to improve their physical condition, their psychological aspects and their quality of life. Specifically, the Chair carries out projects with patients with breast, lung, prostate, colon and gynaecological cancers.

By 2024, it is planned that the city of Castelló de la Plana will work with 10 face-to-face exercise groups linked to the Chair's different research programmes, which will be able to attend to around 200 patients a year. In addition, there will be two physical exercise adherence groups for cancer survivors; a monthly assessment will be carried out in order to incorporate new patients and monitor those who are already taking part in the programmes; and an online physical exercise group will be set up to facilitate the participation of patients who are unable to attend in person.
