Testikkelkreftoverlevende kommer tilbake i jobb Prosjektoppgave i medisin, Universitetet i Oslo, 2009

1. Abstract Purpose. As a result of improved prognosis of many kinds of cancer, an increasing number of cancer survivors are able to return to work after their treatment. Previous studies have indicated that cancer does not have a great impact on the survivors’ employment and that cancer survivors usually are able to return to work. However, the research on the effects of testicular cancer on work ability is scarce, and among the few published studies no proper reference group has been used. The purpose of this study was to increase our knowledge of the work ability for long-term testicular cancer survivors (TCSs), compared with an agematched cancer-free male population sample.
