Resumen. El Retorno al Trabajo (RTW) de sobrevivientes de cáncer se constitu-
ye en un desafío multidimensional de salud pública que trasciende el cumplimiento
legal empresarial. Tal proceso involucra factores médicos, psicológicos, laborales y
sociales que interactúan dinámicamente durante la recuperación. Quienes sobreviven
se enfrentan a riesgos tales como desempleo, dicultades de reintegración por las se-
cuelas físicas como fatiga, dolor, limitaciones funcionales, también de tipo cognitivas
y psicosociales por el tratamiento agresivos de quimioterapia. Forzar un retorno labo-
ral inmediato sin adaptaciones provoca abandono laboral prematuro y deterioro de la
salud mental. En cambio, un reintegro progresivo, con acompañamiento de equipos
multidisciplinarios (médicos, psicólogos, sioterapeutas, recursos humanos), favorece
la retención sostenible. Un proceso así parte de un diagnóstico médico con reco-
mendaciones especícas, sumado a un acompañamiento psicosocial continuo, con
adecuación ergonómica del puesto de trabajo, y seguimiento permanente. Por ello la
implementación de políticas inclusivas, exibilidad horaria, capacitación de líderes
y reducción del estigma social son determinantes para una reincorporación exitosa.
Un RTW con propósito no solo benecia al trabajador con la estabilidad nanciera
y bienestar emocional, también fortalece el compromiso institucional, la cohesión
organizacional generando impacto social positivo, promoviendo comunidades más
resilientes e inclusivas.
Palabras clave: reinserción al trabajo, supervivientes de cáncer, reinserción al trabajo, apoyo
psicosocial, condición del lugar de trabajo.
