Roularta turned Pink Monday into Pink Monday full-fledged "Pink Week"

Last year, we read about Pink Monday a newsletter for prevention advisors. We were immediately won over by this initiative and received full support from our management. This year, we got involved earlier and were able to give the campaign even more visibility, including by selling pink waffles and greeting cards, all made by our colleagues.

Return to work after breast cancer deserves a prominent place within the treatment pathway

Returning to work after breast cancer is a meaningful step - in all respects - that deserves proper attention and support. However, reintegration is not always easy. It is very important that patients, right from the start of treatment, are well informed and, in addition to family, employer and colleagues, hospital care providers also play an important role in this. This is also shown by the study Exploring practice-based evidence aimed at maintaining/resuming work for cancer patients in Belgium. Today, however, our country lacks a clear guideline for delivering "good practice" in this domain, taking into account the reality in the healthcare landscape on the one hand and scientific findings on the other.
