Quality of life (QoL) has been reported to be an important factor in survival1 and is may be affected by smoking in patients with lung cancer.2 We wish to determine if quitting smoking following a diagnosis of lung cancer impacts QoL. 365 smokers with newly diagnosed NSCLC were recruited to a UK multi-centre study (NCT01192256), following patients from diagnosis for up to 1 year or until death. Smoking status was validated at diagnosis and at every visit. Cancer treatments were offered according to UK guidelines and cessation offered according to local practice. QoL was obtained at each visit using EQ5D and analysed using SPSS. 23% (84 from 365) of smokers quit within 3 month of a diagnosis of LC. Demographics of quitters at baseline compared to continued smokers Those who quit smoking following a diagnosis and were still alive at 12 months had similar quality of life (QoL) scores at baseline compared to those who continued to smoke, mean of 8.00 (SD 1.87) compared to 7.5 (SD 1.79) (t(195)=0.54, p=0.96). There was a significant improvement in QoL between baseline and 12 months in those who quit smoking, t(131)=44.72, p Quitting smoking was associated with improved survival and an improvement in quality of life compared to those who continued to smoke following a diagnosis of lung cancer. |
