This boosts both quality of life and survival.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cExercise can make crucial differences, from improving patient wellbeing and quality of life to increasing the likelihood of survival and helping to reduce the risk of cancer coming back. It can improve the speed and extent of recovery for those with cancer. Based on a decade of research, Active Together provides this help tailored to patient needs and so has a new and vital role to play in cancer care in South Yorkshire.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">Dr Kathryn Scott, Chief Executive at Yorkshire Cancer Research, said: \u201cSeeing patients being able to take part and benefit from this pioneering new programme is a fantastic step forward for people with cancer in the South Yorkshire region. In recent years, it has become very clear that exercise plays a vital role in improving cancer survival rates, and that exercise programmes should be prescribed to people with cancer in the same way as other treatments.<\/span><\/p>\n<p><span style=\"font-weight: 400;\">\u201cAt Yorkshire Cancer Research, our aim is for 2000 more people to survive cancer every year in Yorkshire.
