A groundbreaking study from the Academic Medical Center (AMC) in Amsterdam reveals that unemployment rates among adult cancer survivors are nearly 40% higher globally compared to healthy adults.

The AMC team, collaborating with Finnish experts, reviewed data from 36 international studies comparing adult cancer survivors to healthy individuals.
