the working age population (16–64 years). There is a strong need to assess and understand their reintegration on&lt;br&gt;
the labour market, which underlines and ensures their social integration and quality of life. The objectives of the&lt;br&gt;
EMPCAN study is therefore to measure the scale of return-to-work after cancer and to identify the determining&lt;br&gt;
factors, allowing for the implementation of an adequate socio-professional support.&lt;br&gt;
Methods: We requested data from the Belgian Cancer Registry and the Crossroad Bank for Social Security. We&lt;br&gt;
included all socially insured Belgian workers diagnosed between 2004 and 2011 with colorectal, breast, head &amp;amp;&lt;br&gt;
neck, prostate, testis, lung and corpus uteri cancer. The end of (administrative) follow-up was 31st December 2012.&lt;br&gt;
We include demographic, health-related and work-related factors in the analysis and observed how these factors&lt;br&gt;
interplay to determine the working status. After having solved legal, ethical and technical issues for the coupling,&lt;br&gt;
we will perform survival analysis with competing risks using the Fine and Gray model; we will also perform a&lt;br&gt;
multistate model using transitions probabilities; and finally, a group-based modeling for longitudinal data using the&lt;br&gt;
‘proc traj’ package in SAS.&lt;br&gt;
Discussion: The results of the EMPCAN study will allow the provision of an evidence-based support to professional&lt;br&gt;
reintegration policies. It will also bring some key features for the prediction of the cancer-related social security&lt;br&gt;
needs. Besides the raise of awareness among health professionals and policy makers, this study could lead to a&lt;br&gt;
better planning and organization of vocational rehabilitation programs.&lt;br&gt;
&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
