Workforce non-participation varied substantively by cancer type, being greatest for multiple myeloma (1.83; 1.53\u20132.18), oesophageal (1.70; 1.13\u20132.58) and lung cancer (1.68; 1.45\u20131.93) and moderate for colorectal (1.23; 1.15\u20131.33), breast (1.11; 1.06\u20131.16) and prostate cancer (1.06; 0.99\u20131.13). Long-term survivors, 5 or more years post-diagnosis, had 12% (7\u201316%) greater non-participation than people without cancer, and non-participation was greater with recent diagnosis, treatment or advanced stage.
