Cancer & Careers
Cancer and Careers empowers and educates people with cancer to thrive in the workplace by providing vital support, tools, and information needed to navigate the practical and legal challenges that follow a diagnosis.
As the number of cancer survivors in the U.S. continues to grow, there is an increasing need for resources and support to help them get back to everyday life and work after diagnosis and treatment.
Cancer and Careers helps 400,000 people each year — online, in print and in person — by providing valuable information and resources via expert advice, interactive tools and educational events.
