title: Cancer survivors' employment and insurance rights: a primer for oncologists.
abstract: Cancer survivors' access to equal employment opportunities and adequate health insurance has changed significantly during the 1990s. New federal and state laws have expanded survivors' rights to be treated fairly in the workplace, although some problems still exist. Survivors have experienced less progress, however, in obtaining and retaining adequate health insurance. This article reviews the problems faced by cancer survivors in securing and keeping adequate employment and health insurance.
