Abstract

Advances in cancer treatment are saving lives, but along with the benefits come challenges. Millions of cancer survivors of working age need to support themselves and their families. This article analyzes the impact of cancer on employment starting with the empirical evidence from researchers affiliated with medical centers. This research provides a foundation, not previously explored in the legal literature, for assessing the existing laws relating to cancer and employment. Viewing the law through this lens, which reveals the complex relationship between cancer and employment, exposes the promise and the weaknesses of existing laws and offers ideas about legal changes that would better meet the needs of cancer survivors.
