Abstract Maintaining or returning to work for people with cancer is a major issue. One in five people lose their job 5 years after diagnosis. The problem is complex, in connection with the consequences of the disease, the treatments, the partial knowledge of the aid devices, and the socioprofessional particularities. First of all, an update on the state of play in France is made, to understand the situation on the demographic level, the material and psychological consequences.

Abstract This paper is an overview of the International Scientific Conference on “Cancer, Work & Employment” that was held in Paris on November 21 and 22, 2022, and organized by the French National Cancer Institute (INCa).

Abstract Due to the physical and psychological changes brought on by the disease and oncological treatments, returning to work after cancer can be perceived as a real challenge for patients. Given the prevalence of questions raised, the necessary psychological adjustments, and the various options related to the reorganization of their working time, patients may often make an appointment or be referred to a psychological consultation to address their return to work. This topic, which can appear as soon as the beginning of treatment, must be taken into consideration by health professionals at all times during the patients’ care. It is important… More >

Abstract The professional support of working-aged cancer patients is of major public health importance. Whether they return to work or not, the priority remains to preserve their quality of life. Moreover, for some patients, a professional break can be taken in favor of commitment for associations, care, and/or scientific research services. This is a real return to activity which can be synonymous with a professional springboard for these patients as well. This is because they can build a new professional trajectory by combining their initial professional skills and their acquired experiential knowledge. This is the light we wish to shed in… More >

Abstract The aim of this study is to better understand the experience of breast cancer through the analysis of the metaphors in the narratives of women with breast cancer. The blogs of two women were selected and processed according to an interpretative phenomenological analysis. This analysis highlights three metaphors in light of which these women seemed to understand their experience: the body as a medical battlefield, the fragmented body, and the cancer journey. These findings underline the violent changes in the boundaries of the body and the subject that can occur during cancer treatment, as well as the need to integrate… More >
