Occupational Disparities in Cancer Survival Among the Working Population in Japan: 10‐Year Survival Analysis Using the Kanagawa Cancer Registry
We observed occupational disparities in long-term cancer mortality among working-age populations in Japan, with manual workers experiencing worse survival outcomes. Promoting targeted interventions, healthy lifestyles, and early cancer detection for cancer survivors in the workplace are crucial for mitigating these disparities.
