CANWON: Cancer and Work Network is a European Union COST Action, coordinated by Dr Angela de Boer of the Academic Medical Centre, Amsterdam (http://www.cost.eu/domains_actions/isch/Actions/IS1211). The action, which will run from 2013-2018, brings together a network of researchers interested in cancer and its impact on work.
The action has established working groups each of which is focused on a priority area related to cancer and work. These are:
Working group 1. Predictors of work participation among cancer survivors
Working group 2. Work-related costs of cancer survivorship for both patients and society
Working group 3. Impact of employers on work participation of cancer patients
Working Group 4. Interventions to enhance work participation of cancer patients.
