TL;DR: A systematic literature review as discussed by the authors identified current knowledge about employment in cancer survivors and identified factors significantly associated with a greater likelihood of being employed or return to work were perceived employer accommodation, flexible working arrangements, counseling, training and rehabilitation services, younger age and cancer sites of younger individuals, higher levels of education, male gender, less physical symptoms, lower length of sick leave and continuity of care.

TL;DR: The findings provide evidence for the strong need for psycho-oncological interventions in cancer populations using a proportional stratified random sample based on the nationwide cancer incidence in Germany.

TL;DR: Findings show the long-term impact of breast cancer and indicate need for patient education, screening for psychosocial distress, and implementation of psychological interventions tailored in particular for older women.

TL;DR: A large number of women with emotional distress illustrate the need for psychosocial counseling and support in this early treatment phase, and whether the diagnosis of PTSD is appropriate in this group of cancer patients is critically evaluated.

TL;DR: This work aimed to assess the prevalence of psychological distress and to identify problems indicative of high distress in cancer patients and to name the indicators associated with high distress.
