S . Census, Economy.com, <strong>Milken</strong> <strong>Institute</strong>Optimistic ScenarioIn this scenario, the indirect economic impacts <strong>of</strong> lost workdays are calculated as they were for the baseline scenario,using optimistic PRC figures from Part II, Section B, “Projecting Avoidable Direct Costs: Findings <strong>of</strong> the Baseline andOptimistic Scenarios.” However, we don’t just want to incorporate optimistic PRC. We also want to include changes intreatment that will reduce presenteeism through less-invasive treatments and lower side effects. This reduction willultimately affect the indirect impact ratio <strong>of</strong> presenteeism to lost workdays.To quantify reductions in presenteeism, we rely chiefly on the National Cancer <strong>Institute</strong>. For example, to determinefigures for cancer, we follow a statistical report <strong>of</strong> the National Cancer <strong>Institute</strong> on cancer treatment from 1992 to 2002. 84(This report is one <strong>of</strong> the best available and can be used as a proxy to measure the relative invasiveness <strong>of</strong> treatmentoptions for other diseases.) For breast cancer, the report looked at four options: (1) no surgery; (2) breast-conservingsurgery (BCS) without radiation; (3) BCS with radiation; and (4) mastectomy. Ranking the four options, we project eachout through 2023.84. “Cancer Trends Progress Report: 2005.” See: www.cancer.gov.[ 140 ]
