四分之一的欧洲癌症幸存者面临经济歧视, 1 in 4 European cancer survivors face financial discrimination despite being cancer-free.
皇后大学贝尔法斯特(Belfast)的研究发现,四分之一的欧洲癌症幸存者在寻求贷款、抵押贷款和保险时,即使在被宣布为无癌症后,也面临财政歧视。 A study by Queen's University Belfast found that 1 in 4 Europe cancer survivors face financial discrimination when seeking loans, mortgages, and insurance, even after being declared cancer-free. 在英国,超过五十万的癌症幸存者可能正在经历这个问题,这促使人们呼吁为癌症幸存者提供“被遗忘的权利”。 Over half a million cancer survivors in the UK could be experiencing this issue, prompting calls for a 'right to be forgotten' for cancer survivors. 法国于2016年推出了这样一项法律,允许长期幸存者在5年后不再重复披露其癌症史。 France introduced such a law in 2016, allowing long-term survivors to not disclose their cancer history after 5 years without recurrence. 此后,其他七个欧洲国家也采取了类似措施。 Seven other European countries have since implemented similar measures.
