Work in cancer survivors: a model for practice and research.

Introduction: As with other illnesses, several variables can impact the transition back to the workplace, long-term work productivity, or job retention among cancer survivors. We developed a model related to work and cancer based in part on the general area of work disability and the specific literature on cancer survivors and work.

Methods: A systematic search of the literature on work and cancer was conducted to determine whether an evidence base existed to support the proposed model.
