Lung cancer screening (LCS) can integrate smoking cessation interventions, including counseling and medication, to reduce cancer deaths. This approach aims for long-term success and discourages alternative nicotine products.
Area of Science:
- Oncology
- Public Health
- Addiction Medicine
Background:
- Lung cancer is a leading cause of cancer mortality globally and in Poland.
- Smoking is the primary risk factor for lung cancer.
- Lung cancer screening (LCS) using low-dose computed tomography is recognized for reducing mortality.
Purpose of the Study:
- To propose a comprehensive framework for integrating smoking cessation interventions within LCS programs.
- To provide expert consensus on evidence-based cessation methods for LCS participants.
- To establish LCS programs as a model for broader smoking cessation strategies.
Main Methods:
- Multidisciplinary expert collaboration to develop consensus recommendations.
- Integration of educational materials, cognitive-behavioral counseling, and pharmacotherapy.
- Emphasis on proactive follow-up, biochemical validation of addiction, and teleconsultations.
Main Results:
- LCS programs can effectively incorporate smoking cessation support.
- Key interventions include counseling, pharmacotherapy, and ongoing support.
- Discouraging alternative nicotine products is recommended due to risks and limited efficacy.
Conclusions:
- Integrating smoking cessation into LCS enhances its public health impact.
- Comprehensive cessation strategies are vital for long-term success in LCS participants.
- LCS programs offer a scalable model for improving smoking cessation rates in healthcare settings.
