一个工作年龄段的癌症幸存者数量正在增加。我们需要了解与不良工作结果有关的因素和支持介入。通过多个数据库（包括 Medline 和 PsycINFO）获得的研究进行了叙述性综述。多种因素与癌症幸存者的不良工作结果有关，例如长期病假、延迟返工、残疾退休金和失业。这些因素包括癌症类型和治疗方法、疲劳、认知功能、工作因素和卫生保健系统的成分。有效的支持性介入包括身体和多元介入。行为决定因素以及立法和保险制度的作用尚不清楚。此外，不确定提供支持性介入的最佳时间。我们需要进一步关注脆弱群体，包括特定癌症类型以及收入较低、教育水平较低和就业不稳定的人群。最近的发展是量身定制的及时干预。 © 作者 (2022)。由牛津大学出版社出版。版权所有。欲获得权限，请发送电子邮件至 journals.permissions@oup.com。

The number of cancer survivors in a working age is rising. An awareness of factors associated with adverse work outcomes, and of supportive interventions, is needed.A narrative review of research obtained via several databases, including Medline and PsycINFO, was conducted.A range of factors is associated with adverse work outcomes such as prolonged sick leave, delayed return to work, disability pension and unemployment in cancer survivors. They include the cancer type and treatment, fatigue, cognitive functioning, work factors and elements of health care systems. Effective supportive interventions encompass physical and multicomponent interventions.The role of behaviour determinants and legislative and insurance systems is unclear. It is furthermore uncertain what the optimal timing of delivering supportive interventions is.Further focus on vulnerable groups, including specific cancer types and those with lower income, lower educational level and in precarious employment, is needed.Recent developments are tailored and timely interventions.© The Author(s) 2022.
