We compared cancer survivors (CS) with the general population regarding health status, use of healthcare resources and socio-economic condition. We analyzed data from a representative sample of the Portuguese population aged a parts per thousand yen15 years (n = 35,229). We defined three groups of CS, according to the time since diagnosis and the latest cancer treatment: CS 1 diagnosis within 12 months of interview; CS 2 diagnosis more than 12 months before and treatment in the previous 12 months; CS 3 diagnosis and treatment more than 12 months before. These were compared with the general population, adjusting for differences in sex, age, and place of residence. The prevalence of CS was 2.2 % (CS 1: 0.2 %; CS 2: 0.9 %, CS 3: 1.1 %). Self-perceived health status was worse among CS and short-time incapacity more frequent among CS 1 and CS 2. Health expenses were higher in the early stages of survivorship. Lower household income and financial difficulties were more frequent in CS 1 and CS 3 men, respectively. This study confirmed the higher consumption of healthcare resources and worse financial situation among CS. Our study provides valuable information for understanding the global impact of cancer survivorship.The authors thank the National Health Systems Observatory (Observatorio Nacional de Saude), National Institute of Health Dr. Ricardo Jorge (INSA), Ministry of Health and the National Institute of Statistics (INE) for providing the data (Ministerio da Saude, Instituto Nacional de Saude Dr. Ricardo Jorge; IP, Departamento de Epidemiologia/Instituto Nacional de Estatistica: Inquerito Nacional de Saude 2005/2006).
