Socioeconomic differences in labour market attachment after breast cancer: a population-based matched cohort study

By assessing labour market outcomes among all breast cancer survivors regardless of their employment status, this study provides population-relevant evidence on the long-term public health consequences of breast cancer. While women with advanced stage and lower socioeconomic position had the highest incidence of work force detachment and disability pension, the greatest relative impact of breast cancer occurred among high-resource survivors-likely reflecting their lower baseline risk.
