The paper deals with an analysis of the end results of extension of sick leaves for 558 cancer patients examined by the Oncological Commission of Medical Experts on Disability, Novosibirsk, in 1988-1991. Extension proved effective in 95.9 +/- 0.8%. The number of patients treated while on sick leave can be increased by the Commission decision with a view to giving them courses of chemotherapy. Such patients might work in between courses. Sick leave should be extended for patients with unclear prognosis and high motivation for work. Extension of sick leave rather than dismissal from work--because of disability, stage I, should be granted on humanitarian grounds to grave cases of incurable cancer.
本文对1988 - 1991年期间由新西伯利亚医学专家残疾鉴定肿瘤委员会检查的558名癌症患者延长病假的最终结果进行了分析。结果表明，延长病假有效率为95.9 +/- 0.8%。委员会可根据决定增加病假期间接受治疗的患者数量，以便为他们安排化疗疗程。此类患者在疗程间歇期可以工作。对于预后不明且工作积极性高的患者，应延长病假。出于人道主义考虑，对于无法治愈的严重癌症病例，应延长病假而非因残疾一级而将其解雇。
