Cancer Survivorship

  • First Online:

Abstract

Over the next few decades the number of cancer survivors in the workplace will escalate to unprecedented levels. The majority of cancer survivors typically do not experience major challenges in the area of work. However, there are those cancer survivors who find that persistent symptoms and functional changes post primary treatment for cancer, health care provider, individual, workplace and societal responses to workplace reintegration can influence those wanting to or needing to return to or remain in the workplace. This chapter provides an overview of the challenges faced by individuals in the aftermath of diagnosis and treatment of various types of cancer. Models of cancer and work are presented. Various interventions are discussed. At present, the literature on interventions is lacking in numbers and effectiveness. Intervention and cancer specific accommodation (e.g., reducing the impact of cognitive limitations of work) research represents a critical next step.
