Abstract:
This literature review presents what is currently known about the association between postdiagnosis smoking and adverse health outcomes in prostate cancer. A literature search was conducted using Ovid Embase and Ovid MEDLINE. Information from 36 studies was summarized. There is strong evidence across the included studies of higher overall mortality and biochemical recurrence in current smokers diagnosed with prostate cancer. In addition, enhanced adverse effects following surgery, radiation, and hormone therapy have also been identified in current smokers of this population.
