The document discusses how the number of people living and working with cancer in the UK is increasing as cancer prevalence rises and treatments improve. Currently there are 560,000 people with cancer in the workforce, equal to 1.5% of the total, but that number is estimated to rise to over 1 million by 2030. While many people with cancer want to and are able to work, a lack of support for employers and employees means around 63,000 people are currently held back from working. Providing better support could increase contributions to the UK economy by those living and working with cancer.
