Return to Work Interventions for Cancer Survivors: A Systematic Review and a Methodological Critique.

The aim of this systematic review is to identify and describe the interventions developed specifically to help cancer patients to RTW after treatment. Two researchers independently screened the articles for inclusion and Critical Appraisal Skills Program (CASP) checklists were used to assess the methodology of the included studies.

RTW interventions were conducted in or outside the hospital (n = 6 and 3 respe
