Fifteen Boston researchers have been awarded $5.9 million in American Cancer Society grants to study areas as diverse as the biological components of cancer and the emotional and psychological aspects of the disease.
"It's something to be very proud of that even though the American Cancer Society is a national organization, so much support returns to this area because of the wealth of research here," said Dr. Alan Rosmarin, a member of the society's board of directors and division chief of hematology and oncology at UMass Memorial Hospital in Worcester. "The range is enormous. It's simply the cream of the crop."
Lara N. Traeger, a staff psychologist at MGH, said she will use the $709,000 she was awarded to study how depression and anxiety impact patients' experience of their pain.
"Instead of treating all these symptoms separately," Traeger said, "I want to figure out a way to treat them simultaneously to help make patients' quality of life better."
Researchers at Dana Farber Cancer Institute won four grants totaling $1.9 million, followed by Massachusetts General Hospital, which won three totaling $1.1 million; and MIT, which won two totaling $955,500. Boston Medical Center, Boston University, Tufts University, Children's Hospital, Beth Israel Deaconess Medical Center and Simmons College each won one grant, for $792,000, $776,000, $163,500, $107,500, $57,500 and $40,000, respectively.
