On the occasion of Pink October, this month designed to raise awareness among women about breast cancer screening, which ranks first among female cancers, we talk about the link between cancer and work. In France, every year, 160,000 people are affected by cancer. However, five years after diagnosis, 20% of them are no longer working.

What are the barriers to maintaining and returning to work? How can we protect patients when care and treatments take them away from their work? How can we best support patients to enable them to maintain a professional activity?
