      abstract     = {Return to work (RTW) is a goal of many patients with
                      colorectal cancer (PwCRC) attending inpatient
                      rehabilitation. In German rehabilitation clinics, physicians
                      conduct the socio-medical assessment of work capacity (SMWC)
                      with the aim of assessing the current ability to work. We
                      tested how well it also predicts the actual RTW of
                      PwCRC.This study combined a nationwide physician survey (n =
                      38) with longitudinal data from a cohort study of PwCRC (n =
                      172) aged 65 or younger who were employed prior to CRC
                      diagnosis. Physicians were asked about their use of
                      validated tools for the SMWC and their attitudes toward a
                      standardized assessment checklist. PwCRC completed baseline
                      and 9-month follow-up questionnaires about their employment
                      status. SMWC results of the cohort study's participants were
                      extracted from rehabilitation discharge reports.While $97\%$
                      of PwCRC were predicted to be capable of working ≥ 6
                      h/day, only $70\%$ actually returned to work 9 months after
                      rehabilitation. The SMWC showed high sensitivity $(98\%)$
                      but low specificity $(6\%)$ for predicting RTW, with a
                      positive predictive value (PPV) of about $70\%.$ Most
                      physicians $(73\%)$ at least partly saw the need for an
                      evidence-based structured checklist for an improved SMWC,
                      and almost all $(95\%)$ would use it if it did not take more
                      than 10 min to apply it.The SMWC for PwCRC in German
                      rehabilitation clinics is not standardized and overestimates
                      the return-to-work rate. There is a need for a standardized
                      checklist, and most physicians would be willing to use it.},
