Using administrative health data, we performed 1:1 hard matching of individuals with cancer and IDD to those without IDD on age at diagnosis, sex, diagnosis year, cancer type, and registration at a regional cancer center. Conditional logistic regression models compared odds of moderate to severe and severe cancer symptoms.<\/jats:p><\/jats:sec><jats:sec><jats:title>Results<\/jats:title><jats:p>Among 873 matched pairs, individuals with IDD had higher odds of experiencing severe (vs. moderate, mild, or no) cancer\u2010related symptoms compared to those without IDD. Symptoms included anxiety, depression, drowsiness, pain, shortness of breath, tiredness, and poor well\u2010being. Largest magnitudes of effect\u00a0were for anxiety (odds ratio; OR: 2.20; 95% confidence intervals, CI: 1.68, 2.89) and depression (OR: 2.16; 95% CI: 1.54, 3.02).
