Carolyn Taylor speaks to ecancer about work after cancer in LMIC setting; Considerations of impact and challenges of work after cancer in countries with limited resources.

Cancer patients in low and middle-income countries struggle with returning to work due to inadequate frameworks and policies.

Financial burdens and stigma complicate their situation, making it hard to maintain employment during treatment.

Unlike in high-income countries, there is a lack of research on return-to-work strategies in these settings.

Advocacy and collaboration with researchers and NGOs are vital to improve support and resources for these patients.
