Cancer is inherently complex regardless of where someone falls on the oncological spectrum of disease. It pops up when someone is least expecting it, presents with more questions than answers, and its response to treatment in that person won't be understood until many months to years down the road.

The surge in cancer diagnoses among the working-age population translates to greater costs for employers.
