Assessing the impact of cancer on work outcomes
Authors:
Abstract
Cancer may have a major impact on the capacity of survivors to work, with important economic, personal, and social implications. In this commentary, the authors identify six methodologic criteria for evaluating the return‐to‐work literature for cancer survivors, and they propose a conceptual model to guide future research.Keywords
