Job exposure matrices were used to remedy the lack of workingconditions information in the register data. We use nearest-neighbor matching to match the non-cancer cohort (the control group) to the cancer-survivor cohort (the treatment group) . Cox regression analysis was applied to examine the relationships between working conditions, employment, and cancer. The results are reported separately for mechanical-job exposures and psychosocial exposures, as well as by gender.  \nResults Cancer survivors are more likely to experience reduced employment as compared to individuals without a history of cancer. Male cancer survivors in physically demanding occupations have an increased risk of reduced employment after being diagnosed with cancer. This does not apply to female cancer survivors. Regarding the impact of psychosocial exposureson employment, we find no differences over time between cancer survivors and the non-cancer population.  \nConclusions Male cancer survivors in physically demanding occupations have an increased risk of reduced employment after being diagnosed with cancer, whereas this is not the case for female cancer survivors. Psychosocial exposures do not impact the relative risk of reduced employment over time.  \nImplications for cancer survivors We suggest that return to work after cancer should be considered a process rather than only the re-entry step of resuming work. Thus, it is important to provide long-term support for cancer survivors. We recommend providing more attention to working conditions, particularly in occupations that involve a high level of mechanical-job exposures.  \nKeywords Return to work · Cancer survivors · Working conditions · Job exposure matrix (JEM) · Register data  \n* Giang Huong Le [gianghuo@oslomet.no](gianghuo@oslomet.no)[ ](gianghuo@oslomet.no)Åsmund Hermansen [asmuhe@oslomet.no](asmuhe@oslomet.no)  \nEspen Dahl  \n[espendah@oslomet.no](espendah@oslomet.no)  \n1 Department of Social Work, Child Welfare and Social Policy, OsloMet-Oslo Metropolitan University, Faculty of Social Sciences, Oslo, Norway  \nIntroduction  \nOver the past decades, we have witnessed steady growth in new cancer cases [1] . In Norway, there has been an increase in the number of new cancer cases, with 36,998 new cases being recorded in 2021, representing an increase of over 6,000 cases since 2011 [2] . In Norway, like elsewhere, there has been an increasing trend in long-term cancer survivorship, even for some previously more lethal cancers [3], and in the future, the survival rate for cancer patients is expected to increase further due to early screening and advancementsin cancer treatment [4] . The fact that a growing number of long-term cancer survivors are of working age makes the issue of returning to work (RTW) even more pertinent  \nfor researchers, as well as policy makers. Specifically, the working conditions that cancer survivors experience may impact their likelihood of resuming or exiting work. Cancer survivors who work under physically and psychosocially demanding conditions may face higher risks of poor health and reduced labor market participation [5–8] .  \nResumed employment among cancer survivors, as well as other groups who have experienced similar health shocks, are thus high on p","cbCaiayxotOa3PHt","https://ap.wps.com/l/cbCaiayxotOa3PHt","pdf",767442,13,"English","# Abstract\n## Purpose\n## Methods\n## Results\n## Conclusions\n## Implications\n# Introduction\n## Background and rationale\n## Research questions (RQ1, RQ2)","[{\"question\":\"What is the study purpose regarding return to work after cancer?\",\"answer\":\"It compares cancer survivors with cancer-free employees on (1) employment prospects over 15 years and (2) how working conditions differently affect employment over that period.\"},{\"question\":\"How are working conditions measured in the study?\",\"answer\":\"Job exposure matrices are used to address missing working-condition information in the register data, and analyses assess mechanical-job and psychosocial exposures.\"},{\"question\":\"What are the main gender-specific findings?\",\"answer\":\"Male cancer survivors in physically demanding occupations have an increased risk of reduced employment after diagnosis, while this pattern is not found for female cancer survivors.
