A substantial proportion of cancer patients in Europe and Romania are of working age. The cancer survivorship is increasingly longer, hence the problem of the cancer-ill workforce must become a concern for employers, workforce agencies and governments to consider. The existing literature shows the substantial benefits of returning to work for the cancer patient, the employer and for the society. The literature also highlights the considerable difficulties cancer patients face when trying to return to work after a long period of sick leave. Whilst most of the European countries have already begun to address the problem of working after cancer, several other countries, including Romania, are still struggling with meeting the basic needs of cancer patients. Both the level of awareness regarding the work-related consequences of cancer and the range of services provision are a challenge in Romania and other Central and Eastern European countries. This paper will briefly present the existing policies relevant for cancer and work in Romania and insights from interviews held with cancer employees, employers and physicians. The study used triangulation of methods, employing documentary analysis for the policy review and semi-structured interviews for exploring the stakeholders‟ views. This research brings valuable information to a topic entirely unexplored in Romania so far and scarcely explored in other European countries. |
