Cancer survivors more likely to be jobless, report says

February

Cancer survivors in the United States and Europe were more likely to be unemployed than their healthy peers, a new medical study shows.

Researchers analyzed data from several other studies and found that joblessness among cancer survivors was 37 percent higher. The report appeared today in the The Journal of the American Medical Association.

In a story in today’s New York Times, reporter Roni Caryn Rabin notes that it is just one more report looking at the financial burdens of cancer.
