Data from the Equal Employment Opportunity Commission (EEOC) Integrated Mission System database were analyzed with specific reference to allegations of workplace discrimination filed by individuals with cancer under ADA Title One. These 6,832 allegations, filed between July 27, 1992 and September 30, 2003, were compared to 167,798 allegations from a general disability population on the following dimensions: type of workplace discrimination; demographic characteristics of the charging parties (CPs); the industry designation, location, and size of employers; and the outcome or resolution of EEOC investigations. Results showed allegations derived from CPs with cancer were more likely than those in the general disability population to include issues involving discharge, terms and conditions of employment, lay-off, wages, and demotion. Compared to the general disability group, CPs with cancer were more likely to be female, older, and White. Allegations derived from CPs with cancer were also more likely to be filed against smaller employers (15-100 workers) or those in service industries. Finally, the resolution of allegations by CPs with cancer were more likely to be meritorious than those filed from the general disability population; that is, actual discrimination is more likely to have occurred.
对平等就业机会委员会（EEOC）综合任务系统数据库中的数据进行了分析，特别参考了癌症患者依据《美国残疾人法案》第一章提出的职场歧视指控。将1992年7月27日至2003年9月30日期间提出的这6832项指控，与来自普通残疾人群体的167798项指控在以下几个方面进行了比较：职场歧视的类型；指控方（CPs）的人口统计学特征；雇主的行业类别、地点和规模；以及EEOC调查的结果或解决方案。结果显示，与普通残疾人群体相比，癌症患者指控方提出的指控更有可能涉及解雇、就业条款和条件、裁员、工资和降职等问题。与普通残疾人群体相比，癌症患者指控方更有可能是女性、年龄较大且为白人。癌症患者指控方提出的指控也更有可能针对规模较小的雇主（15 - 100名员工）或服务行业的雇主。最后，癌症患者指控方的指控解决方案比普通残疾人群体提出的指控更有可能是有价值的；也就是说，实际发生歧视的可能性更大。
