Similarly, the employer can contact the employee to check on return dates or possible extension of leave. As in the OâDonnell case above, it also is acceptable to contact the employee to negotiate terms or conditions of employment to help the employee transition back to work.
Except for skin cancer, breast cancer is the most common cancer in American women. Most breast cancers are found in women who are 50 years old or older, but breast cancer also affects younger women. About 11% of all new cases of breast cancer in the United States are found in women younger than 45 years of age.
The most common types of cancer in males are lung cancer, prostate cancer, colorectal cancer and stomach cancer. In females, the most common types are breast cancer, colorectal cancer, lung cancer and cervical cancer. If skin cancer other than melanoma were included in total new cancers each year, it would account for around 40% of cases.
