Identifying Late Effects of Cancer (and its Treatments) with Potential Impact on Work
Many people continue to experience complaints long after cancer treatment. It is important to remain alert to these late effects, including in the workplace, as they can have a significant impact on someone’s ability to work.
This summary (in Dutch) highlights the most important “red flags” that may indicate possible late effects of cancer (treatment) with consequences for work. [Link to PDF]The red flags are drawn from the guideline Late Effects of Cancer (Treatment) and Work , which provides insights and recommendations for occupational experts (arbeidsdeskundigen). This guideline was developed by Centrum Werk Gezondheid in collaboration with the Amsterdam University of Applied Sciences and the Dutch Federation of Cancer Patient Organisations (NFK), commissioned by the Occupational Experts Knowledge Centre (AKC).For more information about the research and the practical guideline with tips – including where to find further resources – visit: Handreiking Late gevolgen van kanker(behandelingen) en werk
