  abstract = {{P}urpose : {T}o investigate the effects of clinical, sociodemographic, and occupational factors on time to return to work ({RTW}) during the 2 years after cancer diagnosis and to analyze whether sex differences exist. {P}atients and {M}ethods : {T}his study was based on a {F}rench national cross-sectional survey involving 4,270 cancer survivors. {T}ime to {RTW} was estimated through the duration of sick leave of 801 cancer survivors younger than 58 years who were employed during the 2-year survey. {M}ultivariate analysis of the {RTW} after sick leave was performed using a {W}eibull accelerated failure time model. {R}esults : {W}e found some sex differences in the {RTW} process. {O}lder men returned to work more slowly than older women ({P} = .013), whereas married men returned to work much faster than married women ({P} = .019). {D}uration dependence was also sex-specific. {I}n men, the time spent on sick leave was independent of the probability of returning to work, whereas in women, this duration dependence was positive ({P} inf. .001). {F}or both men and women, clinical factors including chemotherapy, adverse effects, and cancer severity were found to delay {RTW} ({P} = .035, {P} = .001, and {P} inf. .001, respectively). {S}urvivors investing most strongly in their personal lives also delayed their {RTW} ({P} = .006), as did those with a permanent work contract ({P} = .042). {T}he factor found to accelerate {RTW} was a higher educational level ({P} = .014). {C}onclusion : {T}he {RTW} process 2 years after cancer diagnosis differed between men and women. {A} better knowledge of this process should help the national implementation of more cost-effective strategies for managing the {RTW} of cancer survivors.},
