Japanese employers have discriminated heavily against cancer survivors, according to a survey by American Family Life Assurance Co. (Aflac) cited by the
Japan Times. The survey found more than 10 percent of cancer patients in Japan had been dismissed from their jobs, and 30 percent said that their pay had decreased. Cancer patients do not receive the benefits and safeguards provided to other workers with disabilities in Japan.
