The Americans with Disabilities Act (ADA) is a federal law that prohibits discrimination against individuals with disabilities. The U.S. Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) enforces the employment provisions of the ADA. The EEOC provides a question-and-answer document titled About Cancer in the Workplace addressing particular disabilities in the workplace. It explains how the ADA might apply to job applicants and employees who have or had cancer.
