Department of Public and Occupational Health, Amsterdam UMC Location Vrije Universiteit Amsterdam, De Boelelaan 1117, Amsterdam, The Netherlands.
Article Synopsis
- Patients with rare cancers experience longer diagnostic delays and fewer treatment options, which can negatively affect their employment status both before and after diagnosis.
- A study comparing 16,203 rare cancer patients to 23,295 common cancer patients found that those with rare cancers were more likely to become work-disabled before diagnosis and more likely to pursue self-employment after diagnosis.
- Younger patients and those on temporary contracts were more likely to transition to self-employment, highlighting the need for improved awareness and care for rare cancer to minimize negative work outcomes.
