Work ability in cancer survivors

Re-entry to work in cancer survivors is difficult and it became society-wide issue. Disability and invalidity concerns nearly fifty

percent patients. The cause concerns not just the oncological illness (side effects, functional disorders), but mostly attached mental

disorders as anxiety and depression diseases. To solve the problem we recommend keeping an eye and select patiens under the

risk of suffering from mental failure and work disability, advise them to visit psychotherapeutic care during whole oncological

care, not just in time up to asking for work disability.

Keywords: work ability, work disability, cancer survivors, mental disorder, anxiety, depression, psychotherapeutic care
