Background: Approximately onethird of cancer survivors encounter challenges reintegrating into the workforce, often experiencing involuntary unemployment and/or partial or full work disability following diagnosis and treatment. Returning to paid employment presents evident challenges due to uncertainties regarding work ability, perceived employer discrimination, and a lack of support, thereby risking social exclusion. However, interventions addressing return to paid employment among unemployed and/or work-disabled cancer survivors are scarce.

This work reports on the first seven patients treated with gating and baseline drift correction on the high-field MR-Linac system. Dosimetric analysis showed that the active motion management system improved congruence to the planned dose, efficiently mitigating detrimental effects of intrafraction motion in the upper abdomen.

We aimed to identify and summarise interventions for work participation of unemployed or work-disabled cancer survivors. Five databases (Medline, Embase, PsycINFO, CINAHL and Cochrane Library) were systematically searched for quantitative studies on interventions aimed at enhancing work participation of unemployed or work-disabled cancer survivors.
