Impact of Lung Cancer Screening Results on Smoking Cessation [1]
Participants in the Lung Cancer Screening Trial were evaluated for success in smoking cessation linked to findings in their screening CTs. The odds ratios for continued smoking decreased with increasingly worrisome abnormalities on CTs: 0.81 for a major abnormality not suspicious for cancer, 0.79 for an abnormality suspicious for cancer but stable, and 0.66 for a finding suspicious for cancer that was new or changed from prior. CT screening is an opportunity to aid patients with smoking cessation.
