Postdiagnosis Smoking Cessation Improves Survival in Cancer Survivors
A study found that quitting smoking after a cancer diagnosis significantly improves overall survival in cancer survivors.
Researchers from Washington University School of Medicine in St. Louis, led by Dr. Steven Tohmasi, examined the link between smoking cessation and overall survival in a cohort of 13,282 cancer patients.
- The study revealed that patients who smoked or had previously smoked had a higher risk of all-cause mortality compared to those who never smoked.
- Only 22% of patients who smoked at the time of their index visit managed to quit.
Postdiagnosis smoking cessation is associated with improved overall survival in cancer survivors.
