(Adnkronos) - Sempre più spesso, purtroppo, il tumore al seno colpisce donne in età più giovanile, in un'età presumibilmente lavorativa. Una delle primissime domande che pone una donna nel momento in cui le viene diagnosticato un cancro al seno metastatico è: “Potrò continuare a lavorare?”. L’associazione di promozione sociale, Europa Donna, mette in campo attività mirate a facilitare il ritorno al lavoro delle donne colpite dalla malattia, argomento anche affrontato da vari punti di vista nel sito ‘è tempo di vita’.

00:00This is one of the very first questions that a woman asks when a metastatic breast cancer is diagnosed to her.
00:24Today, more and more often, I must say, unfortunately, breast cancer is a pathology that affects women at an increasingly young age and therefore at a presumably working age for women.
00:50So, from here, what did we think? We contacted our entire network of associations, there are 190 on the territory, and we went to hear what their sentiment was, so to speak, with respect to the world of work.
01:06And we saw that in reality there are big difficulties, because, for example, the behavior is two years old. If a young metastatic patient can work, there is a need, let's say, in the second year you end up being protected and therefore, for example, this is a big problem.
01:28There are many difficulties on the road to return to work. Europa Donna provides a free consultancy from a Giuslavorista and some useful tools on its website.
01:40We have put in place, I would say, two fairly simple things. One, which is still in progress, through our website, going to the Transformation section, the patient can enter their name and, after a first consultation,
02:02they are then placed in a class where, or in several classes, because there are classes of 20 people, where this person, depending on what they want to do in their professional life, is helped to write their new curriculum, because maybe they had a break.
02:26A digital update service is offered through IBM platforms. A meeting with the psychologist is held to understand what the goal is for the future and, in the final analysis, there is the possibility of having, as they say, a match, a meeting between the company's request and the person who can return to the world of work.
02:51To learn more, the website etempodivita.it is available, a project promoted by Novartis to support all women with advanced breast cancer.
