Long-term work retention after treatment for cancer: a systematic review and meta-analysis.

ABSTRACT:

Purpose

Almost half of people diagnosed with cancer are working age. Survivors have increased risk of unemployment, but little is known about long-term work retention. This systematic review and meta-analysis assessed work retention and associated factors in long-term cancer survivors.

Methods

We searched Medline/Pubmed, Embase, PsychINFO, and CINAHL for studies published 01/01/2000-08/01/2019 reporting work retention in adult cancer survivors ≥ 2 years post-diagnosis. Survivors had to be in paid work at diagnosis. Pooled prevalence of long-term work retention was estimated. Factors associated with work retention from multivariate analysis were synthesized.

Results

Twenty-nine articles, reporting 21 studies/datasets including 14,207 cancer survivors, were eligible. Wo
