Does cancer diagnosis reduce employment in Norwegian adults?
Effect estimate: HR 2.95 (95% CI 1.75-4.95)
p-value: p=<0.001
Male cancer survivors in physically demanding occupations face a significantly higher risk of reduced employment over time, highlighting the need for long-term, occupation-specific support during the return-to-work process.
Le et al. (2023) conducted a cohort in Cancer (n=262,780). Cancer diagnosis and mechanical job exposure vs. Cancer-free employees was evaluated on Reduced employment (annual income from work ≤ 3.5 basic amounts) (HR 2.95, 95% CI 1.75-4.95, p=<0.001). Male cancer survivors in physically demanding occupations have a significantly increased risk of reduced employment compared to cancer-free peers (interaction HR 2.95).
