Revisit the latest webinar from the MEPs Against Cancer (MAC) interest group and the Association of European Cancer Leagues (ECL) exploring the barriers around cancer and work.

Around 1.6 million people of working age are diagnosed with cancer in Europe each year. Moreover, cancer survivors have a 1.4 times higher risk of unemployment compared to their healthy peers. Europe’s Beating Cancer Plan acknowledges that cancer at the workplace and return to work issues are important for patients, survivors and society.

This webinar was co-organised with the European Agency for Safety and Health at Work (EU-OSHA), the European Cancer Patient Coalition (ECPC), the European Patients’ Forum (EPF), and the Association Working for Carers (Eurocarers).
