Abstract
Worldwide, there are over six million new cancer cases and more than four million cancer deaths each year. Today, millions of people in the workforce have a history of cancer. Therefore, employers are seeing incidents of cancer among their employees. Many cancer survivors experience discrimination because of their cancer history. How to protect employees with cancer and what are their legal rights become very important to both employees and employers.
