Work disability among cancer patients

Factors associated with work disability in employed cancer survivors at 24-month sick leave

“…Our finding concurs with the results of a previous study on cancer survivors (mixed diagnoses) and work disability, which indicated that survivors were leaving the labour force or were functioning less fully at work than before becoming ill [44].
