We evaluate the impact of working conditions’ improvements on return to work after a cancer. Applying several matching methods, we find that, ceteris paribus, the improvement of working conditions strongly increases the probability of coming back to work and improves self-rated health. These positive effects are compensated, for men, by a feeling of being at a disadvantage at work and a household revenue loss caused by illness. For women, the same conclusion holds for a change of tasks or work station. Classification JEL : I10, J31, J81
