Résumé

Return-to-work after cancer depends on several factors related to the disease but also other socio-professional factors. The primary aim of this study was to identify socio-demographic, disease related and professional factors influencing the return-to-work process. It was a prospective and descriptive study reporting the return-to-work process in 89 cancer patients, in a professional activity age, who had cancer treatment and a follow up in the Oncology department in Tahar Maamouri Teaching Hospital of Nabeul, between September 2015 to December 2019. Our study included 89 patients. Mean age was 45 years±8. The population was predominantly feminine (59 %). They were employees in 45 % of cases. Private professional sectors included 60 % of all patients. An open-ended contract was performed in 87 % of cases. Most frequent primary tumors were breast tumors (45 %) and colon tumors (20 %). Thirty-four patients went back to work after recovery. Seventy-nine percent of them were female patients and 70 % had breast cancer. Predictive factors identified in univariate statistical analysis and correlated to return-to-work were gender (P=0.002), occupation (P<10 Our study underlined a need to create a pluridisciplinary platform unifying collaborators among oncologists and occupational health professionals in order to enhance professional reintegration process and to hold patient's professional equilibrium after cancer recovery.

BACKGROUND BACKGROUND
Return-to-work after cancer depends on several factors related to the disease but also other socio-professional factors. The primary aim of this study was to identify socio-demographic, disease related and professional factors influencing the return-to-work process.
METHODS METHODS
It was a prospective and descriptive study reporting the return-to-work process in 89 cancer patients, in a professional activity age, who had cancer treatment and a follow up in the Oncology department in Tahar Maamouri Teaching Hospital of Nabeul, between September 2015 to December 2019.
RESULTS RESULTS
Our study included 89 patients. Mean age was 45 years±8. The population was predominantly feminine (59 %). They were employees in 45 % of cases. Private professional sectors included 60 % of all patients. An open-ended contract was performed in 87 % of cases. Most frequent primary tumors were breast tumors (45 %) and colon tumors (20 %). Thirty-four patients went back to work after recovery. Seventy-nine percent of them were female patients and 70 % had breast cancer. Predictive factors identified in univariate statistical analysis and correlated to return-to-work were gender (P=0.002), occupation (P<10
CONCLUSION CONCLUSIONS
Our study underlined a need to create a pluridisciplinary platform unifying collaborators among oncologists and occupational health professionals in order to enhance professional reintegration process and to hold patient's professional equilibrium after cancer recovery.
