| Summary: | Return to work (RTW) is a goal of many patients with colorectal cancer (PwCRC) attending inpatient rehabilitation. In German rehabilitation clinics, physicians conduct the socio-medical assessment of work capacity (SMWC) with the aim of assessing the current ability to work. We tested how well it also predicts the actual RTW of PwCRC. |
