Cancer and Welfare Services	"Cancer and Welfare Services" is the second major work in the new 'Information from Cancer Support France' series. It is an adaptation of the original French text, "Démarches Sociale et Cancer" published by INCa. CSF is most grateful to INCa for giving us the right to make this adaptation. The book provides detailed guidance on how to access care at all stages of a cancer diagnosis, treatment and return to work. Please be aware that information in this volume is subject to change as the law in France changes. We have tried to indicate where information may become out of date in the footnotes. We recommend that you always refer to the cancerinfo website for the most up-to-date information about cancer. The French edition is in the process of being up-dated. Once this has been done, we will amend our edition.	Cancer and Welfare Services Definitive Version.pdf
