Return to Work after Cancer: Challenges and Needs for Young Adults

Returning to work after cancer presents significant challenges for young adults (18–40 years old) who wish to continue or reintegrate into their professional life. The study Needs Assessment: Young Adults Navigating Work & Cancer, conducted by Cancer & Careers in collaboration with the Andrea Argenio Foundation, explores the experiences of this group, highlighting key problems, needs, and preferences for workplace support.

The survey included 516 participants and was conducted online from December 2024 to February 2025. Participants were young adult cancer patients or survivors, and the study focused on return to work, the difficulties they face, necessary accommodations, and the types of support they find most helpful.

Key Findings

The study clearly identifies the multiple challenges young adults face during professional reintegration:

  • Balancing treatment and work emerged as the most common challenge.

  • About 50.8% reported physical limitations, and 37.8% cognitive difficulties affecting job performance. Younger participants (18–25) reported even higher challenges (~70.3% physical, ~56.8% cognitive).

  • Concerns about job security and career progression were significant: around 1 in 3 participants worried about their position or professional identity, while for ages 35–40, concern about job security reached 50.8%.

  • Participants expressed a need for workplace support, mainly through:

    • Flexible working hours (77.5%)

    • Remote work / working from home (62.2%)

    • Additional paid leave (50%)

    • Mental health support (45.2%)

Open-ended responses also highlighted the need for better employer education, support in job search and career development, as well as broader psychosocial support.

The Greek Context and the Need for Action

Despite the importance of this issue, Greece lacks systematic data on return to work after cancer, particularly for young adults. There are few studies or official statistics documenting experiences, challenges, or needs, creating a significant knowledge and policy gap.

In this context, raising awareness, providing reliable information, and connecting survivors to trusted resources are critical. Initiatives focusing on young adults with cancer help create a more supportive environment for returning to work, addressing both practical and psychosocial aspects.

European tools and collaborations, such as the MELODIC project, in which Kapa3 participates actively, are particularly valuable. MELODIC focuses on the psychological support of young adult cancer patients, highlighting the close link between mental health, quality of life, and professional functioning after cancer.

The Cancer & Careers study demonstrates that returning to work after cancer is not a straightforward process. Physical and cognitive limitations, concerns about job security, and the need for flexibility are daily challenges for many young adults. In Greece, the lack of data does not mean the problem is absent; rather, it underscores the need for more knowledge, targeted initiatives, and meaningful support.

Through information, networking, and participation in European initiatives, returning to work can become more realistic and sustainable for young adults who have experienced cancer.

Ministerial Decision (Government Gazette, FEK 230/B/22.01.2026) on Clinical Trials: Streamlining Research in Greece

The clinical trials regulation in Greece, published in the Government Gazette (ΦΕΚ) 230/B/22.01.2026, establishes a unified and simplified framework for contracts and financial management of clinical trials, non-interventional studies, and other health research projects. This clinical trials regulation in Greece directly affects clinical trials with medicines, studies involving medical devices, and research conducted in hospitals and public health institutions, aiming to reduce bureaucracy, ensure transparency, and protect participating patients.

Clinical trials regulation in Greece

WHY THE NEW DECISION WAS NECESSARY

Until now, procedures for signing contracts for clinical trials and studies were often delayed, complex, and varied between institutions. This slowed down research and discouraged sponsors and research teams. The new Ministerial Decision aims to create a clear, unified framework with common standards, defined responsibilities, and specific timelines.

WHAT CHANGES FOR CLINICAL TRIALS AND STUDIES

Under the new regulation:

  • Standardized contracts for clinical trials and studies are introduced,

  • Clear deadlines for contract signing are established,

  • The use of electronic procedures is promoted,

  • The financial management framework of research projects by responsible institutions is clarified.

These changes aim to reduce administrative burdens and facilitate the daily operations of research teams and health institutions.

WHAT THIS MEANS FOR PATIENTS

Of particular importance is the reaffirmation that participating patients are not financially burdened by their involvement in clinical trials or studies. The costs of examinations, procedures, and services related to the study are covered by the sponsor, ensuring the protection of patients’ rights and safety, and reinforcing trust in the research process.

WHY THIS REGULATION IS AN IMPORTANT STEP FOR RESEARCH IN GREECE

The Ministerial Decision published in the Government Gazette (ΦΕΚ 230/B/22.01.2026) represents a significant step toward improving the research environment in Greece. By creating unified and clear procedures for contract signing and financial management of clinical trials and studies, it reduces long-standing administrative barriers that delayed the implementation of research projects. At the same time, it strengthens institutional security for all stakeholders—researchers, health institutions, and sponsors—while fostering transparency and accountability.

In this context, Greece can become more competitive in research, facilitate participation in international research initiatives, and make more effective use of its scientific knowledge and human resources. In the healthcare field, accelerating and streamlining processes helps align research more closely with clinical practice and patients’ real needs, benefiting society as a whole.

Kapa3 closely monitors institutional developments affecting health research and clinical trials, highlighting their importance for patient protection and the improvement of care quality.

January 24 – International Day of Education

January 24 has been designated by the United Nations as the International Day of Education, recognizing education as a fundamental human right and a key pillar of social cohesion, equality, and sustainable development. Access to knowledge is not only a means of professional growth but also a decisive factor in psychological resilience, personal identity, and hope for the future.

EDUCATION AND ILLNESS: WHEN LEARNING BECOMES SUPPORT

For children living with cancer or other serious illnesses, education takes on a special significance. International initiatives, such as hospital schools, have highlighted the role of learning in maintaining continuity of life during treatment. According to the World Health Organization, education for hospitalized children is not just about curriculum but also serves as a source of joy, normalcy, and psychological empowerment. Participation in lessons, interaction with teachers, and pursuing personal interests help children retain goals and envision their future, even under the strain of serious illness.

YOUNG ADULTS WITH CANCER: STUDIES, INTERRUPTIONS, AND RETURNS

Education is also a critical issue for young adults living with cancer, an age group often engaged in higher education, vocational training, or early career stages. International research shows that a cancer diagnosis during this period can lead to study interruptions, delayed completion, shifts in educational direction, and increased psychological burden. Studies from Europe and the United States report higher levels of anxiety, social isolation, and uncertainty about the future, while also highlighting that flexible educational structures and supportive policies significantly increase the likelihood of returning to and completing studies.

Yet there are also those who, through their experience with illness, redefine their priorities: pursuing new fields of knowledge, changing direction, or discovering previously untapped skills.

DATA IN GREECE

In Greece, there are no official data tracking continuation or interruption of studies for young adults living with cancer — such as how many students drop out, how many return after treatment, or the overall impact on their educational trajectory. However, it is estimated that the incidence of cancer in young adults is approximately 7.4 new cases per 100,000 inhabitants per year, highlighting the unique psychosocial and developmental challenges this group faces. The lack of systematic data on educational outcomes underscores the need for further research and for policies that support young people in continuing or completing their studies when and how they wish.

Education at any age can serve as a tool for hope and life reorientation. Many individuals who have experienced cancer choose to return to learning, acquire new skills, change career paths, or invest in postponed dreams. Knowledge does not erase the challenges of illness, but it can provide meaning, perspective, and a sense of control during uncertain times.

At KAPA3, we recognize the importance of education as an integral part of psychosocial support. Through our participation in European projects, such as MELODIC, which focuses on the mental health of young adults with cancer, we highlight the need for holistic approaches that consider life, studies, and personal plans beyond the diagnosis.

The International Day of Education serves as a reminder that knowledge does not stop in the face of illness. With support, understanding, and appropriate structures, education can remain alive — acting as a bridge to the future and a reminder that life continues.

January – Cervical Cancer Awareness Month

January is internationally dedicated to raising awareness about cervical cancer. Known as Cervical Cancer Awareness Month, it aims to highlight the importance of prevention, early detection, and vaccination against the human papillomavirus (HPV), which is responsible for nearly all cases of the disease.

Cervical cancer remains a major public health issue worldwide. According to the World Health Organization, approximately 660,000 new cases are diagnosed globally each year, and more than 350,000 women lose their lives to the disease. It is among the most common cancers affecting women, particularly in regions where access to preventive screening and vaccination is limited. At the same time, it is one of the few cancers that can largely be prevented through organized prevention and early detection programmes.

In Greece, available data indicate that around 700 new cases of cervical cancer are diagnosed annually, while more than 280 deaths are attributed to the disease each year. The estimated incidence is approximately 8 cases per 100,000 women. Although this places Greece close to the European average, it also highlights the need for further improvement in prevention and early diagnosis.

Cervical cancer is closely linked to chronic infection with human papillomavirus (HPV), a very common virus transmitted mainly through sexual contact.

HPV vaccination, combined with regular gynaecological screening through Pap tests and HPV tests, can significantly reduce the development of precancerous lesions and cervical cancer. In this context, the World Health Organization has set the goal of eliminating cervical cancer as a public health problem by 2030, through high vaccination coverage, universal screening, and timely treatment.

January serves as an important reminder that information and prevention save lives. Open discussion around women’s health, free from fear and stigma, empowers women to take care of themselves and to claim prevention as a fundamental right.

Special emphasis should be placed on the systematic education of younger generations, as prevention begins long before any symptoms appear. Access to reliable information, preventive screening services, and vaccination programmes is a key factor in reducing health inequalities and protecting future generations.

At KAPA3, we believe that information and prevention are core pillars of care and empowerment. Through the dissemination of reliable information and the support of initiatives that promote public health, we stand alongside every woman who needs knowledge, prevention, and timely care.

Because cervical cancer can be prevented, we encourage everyone to take action. Give a meaningful gift to the women you care about: daughters, sisters, mothers, friends, partners, spouses. Talk openly about women’s health, share information, support initiatives, challenge taboos, and promote early diagnostic screening.

Information and open dialogue are the strongest tools we have.

Enjoying Life – The New Year’s Message: Small Moments, Big Meaning

As the new year unfolds before us, let’s take a few moments to pause and notice what brings us joy and peace. At Kapa3, we believe that the ability to truly enjoy — to fully experience the small, positive moments of everyday life — can guide us toward a more balanced and meaningful life. Enjoying life is not just a phrase; it is a way of living.

It’s the moment we catch ourselves smiling over a warm drink, the gentle touch of a pet, or an unexpected phone call that brings joy. It’s paying attention to a loved one who needs a little care, a “I love you” or “I’m sorry” given or received. It’s the moment we lift our gaze as we walk and notice the trees, the color of the sky, the changing world around us.

It could also be the taste of a favorite meal, the warmth of a coffee, a book whose pages we’ve lost ourselves in, a new outfit, or a film that moves us at the cinema or at home. Every small experience carries power — reminding us to be present, to appreciate, and to care for ourselves and those around us.

Just like the message behind Kapa3’s good-luck charm of the year, the Crown, the concept of enjoying life reminds us to make room for small acts of care and moments of calm that fill us with strength.

Research shows that conscious attention to small moments of joy and a positive mindset can have a real impact on both physical and mental health. Even brief moments of relaxation, laughter, or calm improve our body’s ability to cope with stress and recover from challenges. This practice benefits not only patients but also caregivers, who need strength and balance to care for others with love and mindfulness.

For patients and caregivers, this approach can make a real difference. Our psychology is deeply affected by small joys: a smile, a warm word, or a moment of care for others or ourselves. Mindful attention to these moments enhances our ability to face challenges and experience peace.

This year, let’s choose to give space to these moments. Let’s take small breaks to feel the present, to breathe, and to focus on what truly matters. Every consciously lived moment, every smile, every act of care strengthens our lives in ways words can barely capture.

At the start of this year, we wish for everyone — patients, caregivers, and friends of Kapa3 — to find the chance to pause for small, positive moments, to enjoy them, and let this conscious joy guide a 2026 full of peace, care, and mindfulness.

Let enjoying life be the voice guiding our year.

2025 – Moving Forward with Vision

The Kapa3 Annual Review 2025 reflects a year of determination and vision, as Kapa3 strengthened its impact through initiatives and collaborations focused on holistic cancer care.During the first half of the year alone, we managed more than 400 individual requests, with support for the process of Disability Certification standing out as a key service—confirming that personalized, hands-on support remains at the core of our mission.

A milestone moment in 2025 was Kapa3’s participation, alongside 13 European partners, in the EU4Health programme MELODIC, which focuses on improving mental health support for young adult cancer patients (18–39 years old). Through research mapping the training needs of healthcare professionals, the project highlights the urgent need for better detection and management of psychological distress among young patients—many of whom still lack access to adequate psychosocial care.

MELODIC promotes innovative wellbeing interventions, such as physical activity in green and blue spaces combined with psychosocial support, emphasizing the healing power of nature and community in mental health recovery. As an active partner, Kapa3 works to ensure that these actions reach patients directly, fostering community engagement and equitable access to quality care.

At the same time, our participation in the second cycle of the SmartHEALTH programme, supported by CERTH, strengthened the digital integration of healthcare services and empowered patients through smart technologies, improving efficiency, accessibility, and transparency.

Our collaboration with FairLife within the BREATH programme for lung cancer patients highlighted the importance of holistic and interdisciplinary care. In parallel, our presence at conferences and scientific events—such as COST Action INECSC CA21125 and the 7th conference “Caregivers and Depression”—consistently brought attention to the needs of caregivers and the empowerment of patients.

At both national and international levels, Kapa3 presented its work at the Lazord International Conference, the Pan-Macedonian Scientific Nursing Conference, and the ESMO World Congress in Berlin. We also participated in major events such as the Patients Summit, Morning Health Talks by EIT Health, and the 18th Panhellenic Conference on Nutrition & Dietetics.

A particularly important moment was our action in the Municipality of Megara, where a new Cancer Patient Guidance and Counselling Station was established, offering direct and personalized support to patients and their families.

Prevention and awareness remain fundamental pillars of our work. Breast self-examination initiatives, participation in the Action4Obesity network, presence at the Thessaloniki Disability Festival, and the launch of new nutrition-related sections on our website all contribute to improving the quality of life of patients and caregivers—combining scientific guidance with lived experience.

World Braille Day – 4 January

4 January is celebrated internationally as World Braille Day, honoring the life and legacy of Louis Braille, the French inventor of the tactile writing system for people with visual impairment. The day highlights the importance of access to education, information, and social participation for blind and partially sighted individuals. World Braille Day was officially recognized by the UN General Assembly in 2018 and has been observed since 2019.

The date was chosen to coincide with the birth of Louis Braille (4 January 1809). Despite losing his sight at a young age, Braille developed a system of raised dots representing letters, numbers, and symbols, revolutionizing education and communication for blind people worldwide.

Why this day matters

World Braille Day is not just a commemorative event—it reminds us of the importance of equal access to knowledge, education, and basic rights for people with visual impairment. According to the UN, Braille is essential for the full realization of human rights for blind individuals, enabling independence, access to information, and social participation.

Globally, approximately 39 million people are blind and 253 million have moderate to severe visual impairment. In the EU, over 2.5 million citizens live with significant vision problems, while in Greece, more than 35,000 people face severe visual impairments. Access to educational materials in Braille is crucial for their integration and independence.

World Braille Day serves as a global call for awareness, encouraging societies, organizations, and policymakers to promote equality, education, and information accessibility for all.

Rights and accessibility in Greece

In Greece, the rights of people with disabilities, including those with visual impairment, are supported by:

Despite these frameworks, practical implementation—especially in digital spaces—remains a work in progress.

Digital and modern accessibility

Technology has created new opportunities beyond printed materials:

  • Digital Braille services and accessible formats are increasingly available
  • Legal requirements for web and app accessibility in Greece and the EU ensure that digital content is usable for people with disabilities

World Braille Day reminds us that access to knowledge and communication is a fundamental human right. At Kapa3, we support initiatives that promote equality, accessibility, and inclusion, aiming for a world where everyone can fully participate and thrive.

International Migrants Day – 18 December

Health without borders: equal access to care as a human right

International Migrants Day is observed every year on 18 December, marking the date in 1990 when the United Nations General Assembly adopted the International Convention on the Protection of the Rights of All Migrant Workers and Members of Their Families. The day is not only about population movement, but about fundamental rights, dignity, and—above all—equitable access to health care for all, regardless of origin or legal status.

Global Statistics

Globally, more than 281 million people currently live outside their country of birth, representing approximately 3.6% of the world’s population (International Organization for Migration – World Migration Report).

Migrants and refugees consistently face health inequalities driven by barriers such as language, limited health literacy, insecure housing and employment, and fear of exclusion from health systems. According to the World Health Organization, social determinants of health play a decisive role in access to prevention, early diagnosis and treatment, resulting in poorer health outcomes for migrant populations.

These inequalities are further compounded among particularly vulnerable groups, including children and young people, women, and individuals without stable legal status. In cases of serious or chronic illness—such as cancer—delayed diagnosis, interruptions in treatment and lack of psychosocial support can have a profound impact on disease outcomes and quality of life.

Situation in Greece

Within the Greek context, the country continues to serve as both a host and transit point for migrants and refugees. According to data from Eurostat and the Hellenic Statistical Authority, a significant proportion of the population residing in Greece consists of third-country nationals, while access to comprehensive health services remains uneven, particularly for young people and individuals with increased care needs. Despite existing legal provisions, practical barriers persist in prevention, continuity of care and psychosocial support.

In oncology, these challenges become even more pronounced. Cancer does not discriminate, yet access to care is often shaped by social and economic factors. The need for culturally sensitive, accessible and continuous health services is critical to ensure that no person is left unsupported when facing a cancer diagnosis.

In this context, Kapa3 has long worked to highlight social inequalities in health and to promote holistic cancer care for all people, regardless of background. In 2024, a targeted support initiative for refugees and migrants living with cancer was implemented through the programme “Cancer May Control your Body for a While, But Not Your Soul”, with the support of the King Baudouin Foundation.

The action focused on the regions of Macedonia and Thrace, addressing refugees and migrants in the area, with particular emphasis on the 15–24 age group, aiming to provide immediate primary care assistance and continuous support throughout the course of their treatment.

International Migrants Day is a reminder that health is a human right, not a privilege. Ensuring equitable access to care—especially for those most at risk—is a shared responsibility of institutions, health professionals and society as a whole.

A fair and healthy society is one that leaves no one behind.
