Congratulations to Suepattra May-Slater and the PRECISIONheor team for their contributions to an impactful study just published in the journal MMS Policy and Practice. The paper, entitled: “Estimating Productivity Loss from Breast and Non–Small-Cell Lung Cancer among Working-Age Patients and Unpaid Caregivers: A Survey Study Using the Multiplier Method” outlines the challenges in truly capturing the economic burden of cancer for both patients and their caregivers. The authors also suggest the need for more support in the workplace for these individuals, and a holistic approach to accounting for these impacts in treatment decision making.
