Su M, Zhang N, Cai Y, et al. - In this study, first the work-related outcomes of cancer survivors were assessed and then characteristics influencing the decision to stop working in rural China were investigated. From the cross-sectional study “China Survey of Experiences with Cancer”, 752 cancer survivors (residents of rural areas, working at the time of diagnosis, > 1 year since completing treatment) were assessed. The participants comprised largely farmers (96%), women (56%), younger than 65 years old (69%), and were diagnosed with colorectal (31%) and breast cancer (31%). Researchers identified reports of reducing working hours among 39% and stopping work altogether among 40%. They identified nearly 7% of informal caregivers who also stopped working in order to take care of those diagnosed with cancer. Observations thereby suggest a high risk of stopping work after completing treatment among rural cancer survivors; many survivors and their caregivers suffered poor work-related outcomes and economic hardship. These results emphasize paying attention to the work experiences of cancer survivors in rural China.
