Abstract:
The incidence and mortality rates of lung cancer have been continuously rising. Smoking is a crucial modifiable factor contributing to the high incidence of lung cancer, and quitting smoking is of great significance for the treatment and prognosis of lung cancer patients. This article systematically reviews the harms of smoking to lung cancer patients, such as carcinogenic substances triggering lung cancer, affecting the course of the disease, and the improvement of prognosis after quitting smoking. It also analyzes the current situation of smoking cessation among lung cancer patients, who face numerous difficulties and have a relatively small number of successful quitters. Meanwhile, this article provides a detailed introduction to the clinical diagnosis and treatment methods for smoking cessation interventions. This includes the explanation of the pathophysiology of smoking cessation, psychological supportive therapies [brief psychological intervention and 5A’s model (Ask, Advise, Assess, Assist, Arrange) psychological counseling], and pharmacotherapies (nicotine-based and non-nicotine-based smoking cessation medications). In addition, it covers the behavioral intervention therapies for smoking cessation, including the PRECEDE-PROCEED model, cognitive behavior theory model, capacity opportunity motivation-behavior (COM-B) theoretical model, information-motivation-behavioral skills (IMB) model, timing is right (TIR) theoretical model, and the economic incentive intervention model. Although some of the current intervention methods lack the support of clinical randomized controlled studies, existing research and practice have confirmed their positive effects on smoking cessation among lung cancer patients. It is hoped that relevant intervention methods can be further improved in the future to help lung cancer patients improve their quality of life.
