We conducted a cross-sectional questionnaire study to explore perceptions of employment, job-related help-seeking behaviors at the time of cancer diagnosis, illness disclosure at the workplace, and support needs for continuous employment among adolescent and young adult cancer survivors. The mean age at the time of cancer diagnosis was 27.8(range, 15-37) years. For survivors in this age category, employment is the foundation for economic development and contributions to society. Approximately half of the participants sought job-related help from medical staff and employment experts. Approximately 90%of the participants disclosed their illness to their workplace, and most were given consideration for their situation. To ensure continuous employment, the participants required environmental improvement at the workplace rather than consultation services at hospitals. This study suggests the need to further investigate when and where certain support is required and to consider ways to improve support at both hospitals and workplaces.
