Clinical trials that evaluate survival, disease control, cancer treatment toxicity, and risk of secondary cancers must consider smoking and smoking cessation as variables that could affect the accuracy of clinical trial outcomes.
16 mar 2022 · The relationship between body weight, BMI, body composition, and lung cancer survival is complex. Because smoking is an important risk factor for the disease, and smokers tend to have a lower BMI, this may potentially confound the association of BMI and cancer survival.
21 gru 2022 · We included controlled trials testing the effect of healthy lifestyle–based interventions in lung cancer survivors versus a control intervention where lung cancer patients had no treatment, were receiving the usual care, or had not an active role in the intervention.
Attendance at lung-cancer screening is a so-called teachable moment whereby people who smoke might be more receptive to an offer of support to stop smoking. 7 A 2023 systematic review showed that stop-smoking interventions delivered within lung-cancer screening settings are effective, with the strongest evidence for high-intensity intervention, ...
