“…This finding is significant since emotional support at work can improve well-being and the overall return to work experience (Bloom, Stewart, Johnston, Banks, & Fobair, 2001;Nachreiner et al, 2007;Taskila et al, 2006). It is suggested that emotional support should be offered ongoingly to adapt to cancer survivors' changing needs at work (Underwood et al, 2015).…”

Exploring the Needs of Cancer Survivors When Returning to or Staying in the Workforce

Cancer survivors have strong personal desires to resume work to feel productive and meet financial needs. However, they may be faced with physical and psychological challenges. This research aims to: examine cancer survivors' perspectives on supports needed when returning to work; investigate sex and gender differences when returning to work; and explore demographic and employment factors that may influence this process. An exploratory qualitative design was used. The study had two phases: focus groups and one-on-one semi-structured interviews. Inductive thematic analysis was used to analyze the data. The total sample includes 15 participants, 87% female and 13% male. Key themes include: changing perspectives on self and work; managing work and social systems; determining disclosure and accommodation; and the importance of supports for return to work and daily life. This study informs cancer rehabilitation research by developing an understanding of the supports needed to help cancer survivors return to work successfully. Chapter 1: Introduction Purpose of Study In 2017, the Canadian Cancer Society released a report stating that about 1 in 2 Canadians are expected to be diagnosed with cancer in their lifetime (Canadian Cancer Society, 2017). Furthermore, it predicts that nearly 55% of all new cases of cancer will occur in people aged 20-69 years (Canadian Cancer Society, 2017). Given that working age is normally defined as 15 to 64 (Organisation for Economic Cooperation and Development [OECD], 2017), most Canadians who are diagnosed with cancer are likely to be interested in returning to or staying at work as a way to establish normality, social relationships, and enhance quality of life (Peteet, 2000; Steiner, Cavender, Main, & Bradley, 2004). In fact, a literature review by Spelten, Sprangers, and Verbeek (2002) found that, on average, 62% of cancer survivors are able to stay at work or return to work after treatment. Another cohort study found that this number increases to 85% after 4 years, confirming that many cancer survivors are able to remain or stay at work after treatment (Short, Vasey, & Tunceli, 2005). Cancer impacts not only individuals, but also stakeholders throughout the healthcare system and in the workplace (Maunsell,

“…A recent assessment of the implementation of NAPCS revealed that 64% of NCCCP grantees include NAPCS strategies in their own program action plans . For example, grantees in New Mexico, South Carolina, Vermont, and Washington state and from the Fond Du Lac tribe have each implemented activities in all 4 of the NAPCS's strategy areas …”

Because cancer registry data provide a census of cancer cases, registry data can be used to: 1) define and monitor cancer incidence at the local, state, and national levels; 2) investigate patterns of cancer treatment; and 3) evaluate the effectiveness of public health efforts to prevent cancer cases and improve cancer survival. The purpose of this article is to provide a broad overview of the history of cancer surveillance programs in the United States, and illustrate the expanding ways in which cancer surveillance data are being made available and contributing to cancer control programs. The article describes the building of the cancer registry infrastructure and the successful coordination of efforts among the 2 federal agencies that support cancer registry programs, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention and the National Cancer Institute, and the North American Association of Central Cancer Registries. The major US cancer control programs also are described, including the National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program, the National Breast and Cervical Cancer Early Detection Program, and the Colorectal Cancer Control Program. This overview illustrates how cancer registry data can inform public health actions to reduce disparities in cancer outcomes and may be instructional for a variety of cancer control professionals in the United States and in other countries.

Specific examples of activities in New Mexico, South Carolina, Vermont, Washington state, and the Fond Du Lac Band of Lake Superior Chippewa tribe are: (1) promotion of doctor and patient use of survivor care plans to better understand care prescribed and received; (2) use of patient navigation programs to help survivors gain access to clinical services; (3) use of psychosocial distress screening among cancer survivors to identify and treat concurrent illnesses stemming from their cancer diagnosis; and (4) facilitation of communication among cancer survivors through peer support groups and workshops to help survivors feel less marginalized and better equipped to handle their diagnosis [58].…”

Cancer is the second leading cause of the death in the United States (U.S.). The National Comprehensive Cancer Control Program (NCCCP) is a national, public health practice program funded by the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The NCCCP has been planning and implementing interventions to reduce the burden of cancer since 1998. Interventions are implemented across three areas primary prevention, early detection, and survivorship using health systems and environmental changes to promote sustainable cancer control. The aim of this chapter is to provide a summary of the NCCCP, and highlight specific examples of interventions and successes to aid cancer planning in other countries. Cancer plan analyses show that all NCCCP participant cancer plans address reducing tobacco use for cancer prevention and 98% contain activities to increase colorectal cancer screening. The vast majority implement activities to improve the quality of life following a cancer diagnosis (94%). Relatively fewer cancer plans contain activities to reduce radon exposure (42%), promote human papilloma virus vaccination (62%), and incorporate the use of genomics in cancer control (56%). The examples of NCCCP activities demonstrate success in controlling cancer and other non-communicable diseases through public health practice.
