Feasibility of a Supportive Cancer Care Intervention for Patients With Pre-Existing Severe Mental Disorders-The CASEMED Model.
Article in Psycho-oncology, 2026. The graph could read no effect estimate from its abstract, so it casts no vote on the map. Not yet cited in PubMed.
What it found
Each row is one number read from the abstract, on the scale the paper reported it, with its interval. Left of the dashed line favours the treatment, right favours the comparator. Under each row is the sentence it came from. New to these charts? A ten-minute tutorial.
The abstract states no effect estimate the extractor could read, or names no intervention and outcome on the map, so this paper lights no cell and moves no belief. It is still indexed, cited and linked below.
The trial behind it
Trials whose registry record cites this paper, or whose number appears in the abstract. A trial that started after this paper was published is citing it as background, not reporting it.
Neither the registry nor the abstract names a trial number. If this is a trial report, that itself is worth knowing.

Abstract
backgroundPatients with pre-existing severe mental disorders (SMD) face barriers to optimal cancer treatment. Structured interventions may improve care, but knowledge about their feasibility in daily clinical practice is needed.
aimTo assess the feasibility of the CASEMED Model.
methodsThis mixed-methods feasibility study was conducted at Aarhus University Hospital and included patients with pre-existing SMD and breast, lung, or head and neck cancer. The intervention components included early detection of psychiatric comorbidity, screening for physical and psychiatric symptoms, involvement of caregivers, continuity, education, and enhanced cross-sector collaboration through an onco-psychiatric multidisciplinary team conference (opMDT). Data were collected from patient records and interviews focusing on intervention delivery, acceptability, burden, unintended consequences, and mechanisms of change.
resultsOf 27 eligible patients, 23 (85%) participated. Patients had breast (48%), lung (26%), or head and neck cancer (26%) and were diagnosed with moderate to severe depression (65%), bipolar affective disorders (26%), or schizophrenia and other psychotic disorders (9%). Overall, the intervention was feasible and well-accepted, with minimal burden reported. It facilitated a multidisciplinary approach, patient-centered care and cross-sector collaboration. The main implementation barriers included difficulties identifying the appropriate target population, lengthy questionnaires, lack of continuity among oncological professionals, and low general practitioner participation in opMDTs.
conclusionThis feasibility study demonstrates that the CASEMED Model is acceptable and feasible, with a low level of burden and few implementation barriers. The intervention facilitated a multidisciplinary approach with potential to enhance cancer care. Further research is needed to confirm its effectiveness and generalizability in other healthcare settings.
