Outline of Final Research Achievements

(1) We conducted a systematic review and found the return-to-work ratios of about 60-80% among Japanese cancer survivors. (2) We conducted a cross-sectional study and found a low level of functional capacity and self-rated health status among Japanese cancer survivors who returned to work. (3) We conducted a systematic review and found that return to work was not an absolute solution for preventing depression among cancer survivors. (4) We conducted a cross-sectional study and found that information was not well distributed in worksites in Japan regarding the cancer survivors’ working while taking treatment for cancer and the appropriate working conditions and labor management. (5) Based on these research results, we propose the ways of cooperating, sharing information, and supporting cancer survivors’ return to work by occupational and clinical doctors.

Academic Significance and Societal Importance of the Research Achievements

がん患者の5年生存率は6割を超え、がんは致死的な疾患ではなくなっている。国はがん対策基本法やがん対策推進基本計画を策定し、がんサバイバーの就労を支援している。しかし、がんサバイバーの復職率、がんサバイバーの心身の健康状態、がんサバイバーの就労を支えるための事業場の認識や職場環境・労務管理制度の整備状況は不明であった。本研究はそれらの不足に対する科学的エビデンスを供給したという学術的意義がある。また、産業医と主治医の連携について、科学的エビデンスを基に、産業医と主治医の連携として不足している事項に対する提言を行ったという点で社会的意義がある。
