abstract: 'Objectives: To assess the risk of leaving employment for cancer

  survivors 2 years after diagnosis and the role of workplace

  discrimination in this risk.

  Methods: A representative sample of 4270 French individuals older than

  17 and younger than 58 years when diagnosed with cancer in 2002 were

  interviewed 2 years later. Their occupational status was analyzed with

  the help of Probit and IV-Probit models.

  Results: Overall, 66\% of the cancer survivors who were working at the

  time of diagnosis were still employed 2 years later. Age, education

  level, income at diagnosis, work contract, professional status,

  affective support, relative prognosis at diagnosis, tumor site and

  treatment have contrasting impacts upon the probability of job loss

  across gender. Even after having controlled for these variables,

  self-reported workplace discrimination increases the probability of job

  loss by 15\%.

  Conclusions: Despite protective labor law and favorable health insurance

  arrangements, French cancer survivors continue to experience problems to

  stay in or to return to the labor force. Measures targeting only the

  employment protection of cancer survivors do not seem to be sufficient

  to end prior social inequalities in job attainment. Intervention for

  specific populations particularly exposed to job-loss risks would also

  be needed. (C) 2010 Elsevier Ireland Ltd. All rights reserved.'
