Re-entry to work in cancer survivors is difficult and it became society-wide issue. Disability and invalidity concerns nearly fifty percent patients.The cause concerns not just the oncological illness (side effects, functional disorders), but mostly attached mental disorders as anxiety anddepression diseases. To solve the problem we recommend keeping an eye and select patiens under the risk of suffering from mental failureand work disability, advise them to visit psychotherapeutic care during whole oncological care, not just in time up to asking for work disability.

Keywords: work ability, work disability, cancer survivors, mental disorder, anxiety, depression, psychotherapeutic care
