Work Status, Absenteeism, Presenteeism, and Quality of Life in Young Adult Cancer Survivors
In this cross-sectional study of young adult cancer survivors, associations were found between survivors' self-reported work status and performance and their QOL affecting their mental, physical, and social health. These findings call for the development of effective communication strategies with employers to balance work expectations with survivors' treatment-related complications to achieve better performance and in turn higher QOL.
