“…1,2 Investments by the National Cancer Institute (NCI) have led to the creation or expansion of tobacco cessation programs at NCI-Designated Cancer Centers, 3 yet engaging patients in tobacco cessation counseling remains a challenge. 4 Identifying patient-level characteristics associated with treatment engagement may highlight important barriers and signal opportunities for modifying clinician- and systems-level approaches for delivering cessation services.…”

PURPOSE: To address challenges promoting tobacco cessation in oncology settings, it is important to understand characteristics associated with patient engagement in tobacco cessation treatment. This analysis examined predictors of participating in at least one tobacco cessation counseling session among patients referred to a comprehensive cancer center's Tobacco Intervention and Psychosocial Support (TIPS) service. METHODS: Patients with cancer who reported current smoking or recently quitting and referred to TIPS between June 2017 and February 2020 were included in the analysis. Independent variables included sex, race and ethnicity, insurance type, cancer diagnosis (tobacco-related or not), age, nicotine dependence, and cigarettes smoked per day at baseline. The outcome variable was completion of at least one tobacco cessation counseling session among those assessed by the TIPS program. Unadjusted and adjusted analyses tested associations between the independent variables and tobacco cessation counseling engagement. RESULTS: Of 360 oncology patients referred to the TIPS program, 224 (62.2%) were assessed and 120 (33%) engaged in at least one counseling session. After controlling for sociodemographics and tobacco use, the results demonstrated that patients diagnosed with tobacco-related cancers were 45.3% less likely to engage in the tobacco cessation program compared with those with non–tobacco-related cancers ( P = .041). CONCLUSION: Patients diagnosed with tobacco-related cancers were less likely to engage in TIPS. Additional therapeutic resources may be needed to engage these patients to address potential explanatory factors, such as stigma, guilt, and fatalism. More research is needed to explore the impact of a tobacco-related cancer diagnosis on treatment engagement.

Overview Various behaviors are well known to increase the risk of developing cancer. Between 30% and 50% of all cancer‐related deaths worldwide can be prevented by following healthier behaviors that relate to food intake, substance use, sun exposure, and physical activity. This article will summarize the available literature on the overall effects of modifiable behaviors as risk factors of chronic disease, in particular cancer, as well as describe behavioral changes and/or interventions that could lead to cancer prevention.
