Description

Elpidio Maria Garzillo and Maria Grazia Lourdes Monaco discuss a legal right that may clash with worker health checks, in this 2026 commentary. Some European states now let cancer survivors keep their past illness private, a right meant to stop unfair treatment. The authors note a tension: hiding that history could weaken health watch for workers exposed to cancer-causing hazards on the job. They raise the issue as a balancing act between privacy and safety. The piece poses questions for future policy and research rather than settling the matter.
