Article Synopsis
- A pilot trial was conducted to assess the effectiveness of an intervention aimed at improving tobacco treatment for cancer patients at a comprehensive cancer center, focusing on implementing smoking cessation guidelines.
- Of the 119 participants, the intervention led to an increase in the percentage of patients receiving counseling for quitting smoking during their visits (30% post-implementation vs. 10% pre-implementation).
- Despite the increased support, the intervention did not result in a significant improvement in smoking cessation rates at the 3-month follow-up, with similar abstinence rates (14% vs. 12% for pre- and post-implementation, respectively).
