Work Reintegration After Chemotherapy in Patients With Early-Stage Breast Cancer: The RESTART Cross-Sectional Survey

RTW after breast cancer is influenced by medical, occupational, and psychosocial factors.

Interventions should focus on symptom management, employer engagement, and structured work capacity assessment. Public health strategies should acknowledge work reintegration as a core component of post-cancer recovery.
