Abstract: Abstract Several studies reveal that the incidence of oncological diseases has been growing (Lewandowska et al. in Ann Agric Environ Med 26:1–7, 2019; Wang et al. in Int J Environ Res Public Health 19:8845, 2022) (Studies reveal an estimated 19.3 million new cancer cases occur worldwide each year and result in nearly 10.0 million people dying from the disease) and environmental factors are considered one of the major causes (Rygiel in Arch Breast Cancer 8:68–79, 2021; Wang et al. in Int J Environ Res Public Health 19:8845, 2022) (The former refers to lung cancer. The latter concerns breast cancer and the research departs from data suggesting an increase of the disease when women migrate from underdeveloped countries to highly developed countries). Further, the improvement in early diagnosis and treatment has led to an increase of cancer survivors, namely persons in active life, which immediately justifies the need to understand the impact of this condition on employment relationships.
