我们讨论了癌症如何影响参与了一项纵向研究的近800名就业患者的就业。患者劳动力供应(定义为就业和每周工作时间)的最大降幅出现在确诊后6个月。确诊后12个月和18个月，许多患者重返工作岗位。基于这些和其他与患者就业情况有关的发现，我们建议未来研究的四个领域：1)癌症研究中就业信息的收集；2)对少数族裔患者和就业结果的研究；3)减少癌症及其治疗对就业的影响的干预措施；以及4)调查与就业相关的医疗保险对癌症治疗和康复的影响。
We discuss how cancer affected the employment of almost 800 employed patients who participated in a longitudinal study. The greatest reduction in patients' labor supply ( defined as employment and weekly hours worked) was observed 6 months following diagnosis. At 12 and 18 months following diagnosis, many patients returned to work. Based on these and other findings related to patients' employment situations, we suggest 4 areas for future research: 1) collection of employment information in cancer studies; 2) research into racial and ethnic minority patients and employment outcomes; 3) interventions to reduce the effects of cancer and its treatment on employment; and 4) investigations into the influence of employment-contingent health insurance on cancer treatment and recovery.
