With advances in diagnosis and treatment of cancer, the number of cancer survivors able to work is increasing. Currently, about half of cancer survivors are of working age. While 63% cancer are able to return to work in the first year, 26%-53% need stop working or loss their job  6 years post diagnosis.  There is a need for all involved in the return to work process (cancer survivors, health care providers, insurance representative and employers) to provide better support. While the research in the area of work cancer is still young, there are insights from the research and practical guidelines that can guide all stakeholders with this process.
