95 Residual work capacity and (in)ability to work fulltime among applicants with cancer Educational level and multimorbidity were not significantly associated with inability to work fulltime (Table 2). Of the specific cancer diagnosis groups, cancers of the digestive organs (OR 1.69, 95%CI 1.42–2.01), respiratory organs (OR 2.22, 95%CI 1.78– 2.77), urinary tract (OR 1.40, 95%CI 1.02–1.91), and skin (OR 1.85, 95%CI 1.16–2.96) showed significant higher odds for no residual work capacity in the multivariable logistic regression analyses. Additionally, cancers of the breast, nervous system, and lymphoid, and haematopoietic cancers showed significant lower odds for no residual work capacity (Table 3). With regard to inability to work fulltime, only lymphoid and haematopoietic cancers showed significant higher odds for the inability to work fulltime (OR 1.89, 95%CI 1.39–2.57), whereas being diagnosed with cancer of the locomotor system resulted in significantly lower odds for being assessed with an inability to work fulltime (OR 0.41, 95%CI 0.18–0.96) (Table 3). Associations with no residual work capacity and inability to work fulltime within specific cancer diagnosis groups Within the eight cancer diagnosis groups with n > 100 (cancers of the breast, digestive organs, lymphoid and haematopoietic cancers, cancers of the respiratory organs, nervous system, urinary tract, female genital organs, and male genital organs), only multimorbidity was associated with no residual work capacity. Having an additional diagnosis was negatively associated with no residual work capacity within all these cancer diagnosis groups (Table 4). For cancers of the breast, digestive system, respiratory organs, nervous system, and lymphoid and haematopoietic cancers, multivariable logistic regression analyses were performed to study the associations with the inability to work fulltime for each cancer diagnosis group. For applicants with cancers of breast, higher age showed increased odds for inability to work fulltime (OR 1.03, 96%CI 1.01–1.05), whereas for applicants with lymphoid and haematopoietic cancers, female gender was significantly associated with higher odds for inability to work fulltime (OR 3.13, 95%CI 1.57–6.24). Within the other three cancer diagnosis groups, no significant associations with inability to work fulltime were found (Table 4). 5
