Cancer Rights Law: A Tool for Effective Navigation, Second Edition (Paperback) (ISBN-13: 9781639055869)

The legal issues arising from a cancer diagnosis are wide and varied, including a number of separate areas of law such as employment, insurance, government benefits, consumer rights, and estate planning. Cancer Rights Law is designed to create greater awareness of these legal issues and to cultivate more advocates to assist cancer survivors and their families, friends, and caregivers in navigating those issues.

In the context of a cancer diagnosis, an understanding of your rights can mean the difference between losing your job, your health insurance, or even your home. And in its most extreme case, it can be the difference between getting access to care or losing your life.

This is the first book of its kind to comprehensively address these legal topics through the lens of cancer diagnosis.
