The aim of this study is to investigate the change in employment status in survivors with occupational cancers at the time of diagnosis until 2 years. Methods: In this study, we included 382 occupational cancer workers. In these 382 workers, 218 workers were insured. Ninety-nine occupational cancer workers in 2004-2015 were included for the change of employment status and salary buckets. The confirmation of change of employment status was retrieved in the Labor Insurance Database’s employment data. Results: The mean age of cancer workers were 51.38 ± 9.1119 years old and the average salary of industry of NTD 30511.6 ± 3980.6. In our results, most cancer survivors are in 46-55-year-old group (40.7%). Salary adjustment are the most change in the employment status in cancer survivors. Conclusion: Change of employment status in cancer survivors are important to decrease the impact of economic burden on society.
