Employment trends in young women following a breast cancer diagnosis.
This cohort study examined employment trends in young women (age 40 or less) following a breast cancer diagnosis and treatment. The participants were 911 women who were enrolled in the Young Women’s Breast Cancer Study with non-metastatic breast cancer who were surveyed about employment-related outcomes 1 year post-diagnosis. Most women (80%) were employed 1 year after diagnosis. Among employed women, 7% said treatment affected their job performance. Seven percent of women reported unemployment at 1 year, with half of them reporting health reasons for their unemployment. Women with Stage 3 disease, and those who reporting having money to pay bills after cutting back or difficulty paying bills at baseline were more likely to be unemployed.
