Cancer survival analysis focuses on quantifying and interpreting the time from a key starting point, such as diagnosis or the initiation of treatment, to a specific endpoint, such as remission or death. This analysis provides critical insights into treatment effectiveness and factors that influence patient outcomes, helping to shape clinical decisions and guide prognostic evaluations. A cornerstone of oncology research, survival analysis tackles the challenges of skewed, non-normally...

Area of Science:

  • Oncology
  • Occupational Health
  • Psychology

Background:

  • Breast cancer (BC) is the most common invasive cancer globally.
  • Most breast cancer survivors (BCSs) continue working despite cancer-related disabilities.
  • Return-to-work (RTW) is a critical recovery phase for BCSs, linked to improved survival rates.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To investigate factors influencing the return-to-work (RTW) process for breast cancer survivors (BCSs).
  • To identify workplace interventions to facilitate RTW for BCSs.
  • To compare the health status of BCSs with a control group of working women.

Main Methods:

  • Qualitative: Semi-structured interviews with 32 BCSs analyzed using Thematic Analysis.
  • Quantitative: Cross-sectional study comparing 32 BCSs with 160 controls using standardized questionnaires.
  • Assessment of work ability, fatigue, sleep, anxiety, depression, happiness, and perceived organizational justice.

Main Results:

  • Qualitative themes identified person-related, company-related, and society-related factors influencing RTW.
  • BCSs reported significantly higher anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and fatigue compared to controls.
  • BCSs reported lower levels of happiness than the control group.

Conclusions:

  • Facilitating RTW for BCSs requires adapting working conditions and providing adequate support.
  • Workplace-specific analyses are crucial for identifying necessary interventions.
  • Cancer treatment should be integrated with guidance on regaining work capacity.
