The National Cancer Institute awarded a $673,096 Project Grant under the Cancer Cause and Prevention Research program (CFDA 93.393) to The General Hospital Corporation (Massachusetts General Hospital) to improve cancer and mental health care delivery for adults affected by serious mental illness (SMI). The project aims to address delays in cancer diagnosis and gaps in treatment for adults with SMI, which contribute to poorer cancer outcomes. The grant supports the development and implementation of the BRIDGE model of person-centered collaborative care, which includes proactive psychiatry consultation, engagement of a social work care manager, and co-management with oncology. A randomized trial found this approach significantly reduced disruptions in cancer care for the target population compared to standard care. This initiative represents a key effort to improve cancer outcomes for a historically underserved patient group.
