Tobacco and cancer deaths Lung cancer is the most common cause of cancer mortality in the world and in the US. >80% of cases attributable to tobacco What’s shocking is not merely the millions of deaths and billions of dollars in cost of this epidemic, but the fact that much if it is preventable…

Why should we as oncologists care about cessation? Isn't it too late? Does it matter? What difference can it really make?
Why is cessation important? The 2014 Surgeon General’s Report: Statistics: –Evidence for studies between –Studies with 100+ patients –~400 studies reporting on over 500,000 patients –Effects of smoking on: 1.Overall mortality/survival 2.Cancer-specific mortality/survival 3.Risk of second primary cancers 4.Cancer recurrence/response to treatment 5.Toxicity U.S. Department of Health and Human Services.

Why is cessation important? The 2014 Surgeon General’s Report: Conclusions: –In cancer patients and survivors, the evidence is sufficient to infer a causal relationship between cigarette smoking and adverse health outcomes. Quitting smoking improves the prognosis of cancer patients. –In cancer patients and survivors, the evidence is sufficient to infer a causal relationship between cigarette smoking and increased all-cause mortality and cancer-specific mortality. U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The Health Consequences of Smoking—50 Years of Progress: A Report of the Surgeon General.

Why is cessation important? The 2014 Surgeon General’s Report: Conclusions: –In cancer patients and survivors, the evidence is sufficient to infer a causal relationship between cigarette smoking and increased risk for second primary cancers known to be caused by cigarette smoking, such as lung cancer. –In cancer patients and survivors, the evidence is suggestive but not sufficient to infer a causal relationship between cigarette smoking and the risk of recurrence, poorer response to treatment, and increased treatment-related toxicity.

Ok… Cessation is important. How can it be done? I don’t have enough time. Patients aren’t going to quit anyway…
ASK every patient about former and current tobacco use. ADVISE all patients to quit with a personalized message and discuss benefits of cessation ASSESS dependence on tobacco and willingness to quit ASSIST with behavioral counseling, pharmacotherapy ARRANGE follow up plan (in person, or if not possible- by telephone) Tobacco Cessation in Clinical Practice

PHARMACOLOGIC THERAPY Three general classes of FDA-approved drugs for smoking cessation: Nicotine replacement therapy Nicotine patch, gum, lozenge, nasal spray, inhaler Can use patch (long acting) with another short acting form of NRT Psychotropics Sustained-release bupropion Partial nicotinic receptor agonist Varenicline Explore what has / has not worked for that patient previously. Most patients have quit or at least had quit attempts in the past
Tobacco Cessation in Clinical Practice (abbreviated strategy) ASK every patient about former and current tobacco use. ADVISE all patients to quit and discuss benefits of cessation REFER patients to evidence based cessation resources: Tobacco Cessation Specialist, Group Counseling, Phone Counseling (1-800-QUIT-NOW)

What about e-cigarettes? “Hot” topic Advise patients to try FDA approved pharmacotherapy and counseling Electronic cigarettes are variable in the inhaled components which include flavorings, additives such as propylene glycol, etc which may change when heated. If they are using electronic cigarettes, discuss tapering and cessation, or switching to NRT such as patch + gum etc.
Summary Most lung cancer and many other cancers are linked to tobacco use. Most patients DO want to quit, (and often have tried multiple times). Physicians should be aware of and support tobacco control policies which save lives Cessation impacts outcomes, even after diagnosis. Cessation can and should be integrated into clinical practice
