Published today in the <em>Journal of the National Cancer Institute<\/em>, the study provides detailed estimates of the loss in societal contributions from premature cancer deaths due to productivity loss among individuals of working age (15\u201364 years) by sex for 36 cancer sites and across 185 countries.
