Abstract
"Breast cancer is the most common cancer affecting women globally (American Cancer Society, 2011). It is estimated approximately 70,000 people are diagnosed with cancer between ages 15 to 39, estimated more than 250,000 women are diagnosed with breast cancer at age 40 or younger, and more than 13,000 young women will be diagnosed every year in United States (Young Survival Coalition, 2012). Work is an important social function in lives. Breast cancer survivors in their employment years are likely to go back to their jobs and social lives after the primary treatment. In order to holistically support the breast cancer survivors with their rehabilitation, including their social function recovery, the related knowledge (status, problems, etc.) of their return to work after primary treatment needs to be studied."--Introduction.
