Implementing specific strategies in cancer care can improve smoking cessation efforts. Training, support, and interactive assistance were linked to increased
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Public Health
- Implementation Science
Background:
- Smoking cessation is crucial for cancer treatment efficacy and survival.
- Significant variability exists in providing smoking cessation advice and referrals within Ontario's cancer centers.
- Existing systematic reviews require updating to inform current practices.
Purpose of the Study:
- To identify implementation strategies and outcomes in oncology settings.
- To characterize these strategies and outcomes.
- To assess the association between strategies and the 3As (Ask, Advise, Act) approach to smoking cessation.
Main Methods:
- Rapid systematic review registered with PROSPERO (CRD42023491391).
- Searched MEDLINE, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases.
- Narrative synthesis used for data summarization; risk of bias assessed.
Main Results:
- Eighteen new studies were included, all with low to moderate risk of bias.
- Strategies like stakeholder training, iterative approaches, and clinician support correlated with increased 'Ask, Advise, Act' behaviors.
- Only five studies measured implementation outcomes, with heterogeneity precluding analysis.
Conclusions:
- While implementation strategies are well-documented, implementation outcomes are sparsely reported.
- Direct links between specific strategies and measurable outcomes in smoking cessation for cancer patients remain unclear.
- Future research should focus on piloting and measuring both strategies and outcomes to guide effective implementation.

Cancer Therapies
However, cancer treatments can pose several challenges, as therapies used to kill cancer cells are generally also toxic to normal cells. Moreover, cancer cells mutate rapidly and can develop resistance to chemical agents or radiation therapy. Besides, all types of cancer cells may not respond to the same therapy. Some cancer cells respond to one...
