Longitudinal Assessment of Labor Market Earnings Among Patients Diagnosed With Cancer in Canada.

ABSTRACT:

Importance

To our knowledge, there have been no studies that estimated the short-, mid-, and long-term effects on cancer survivors' labor market earnings using administrative data.

Objective

To estimate the change in labor market earnings due to cancer diagnosis stratified by cancer type and age category.

Design, setting, and participants

This population-based cohort study used a retrospective analysis of Statistics Canada's administrative linkage file, which includes microdata from the 1991 Census, the Canadian Cancer Registry, mortality records, and personal income tax files. Participants included patients newly diagnosed with cancer from 1992 to 2008. All statistical analyses were finished on September 30, 2020.
