Malburg CM, Fucinari J, Ruterbusch JJ, et al. - This study was attempted to evaluate demographic and clinical factors correlated with continued smoking in African American (AA) patients following a cancer diagnosis. Researchers used data from the Detroit Research on Cancer Survivors' study, a cohort of AA cancer survivors with breast, prostate, lung, and colorectal cancers, from survivors who finished their baseline survey within 18 months of cancer diagnosis (n = 1,145). Of these participants, 18% (n = 356) reported smoking at the time of cancer diagnosis, 57% of whom (n = 203) continued to smoke following their diagnosis. Factors associated with continued smoking were evaluated using logistic regression models, and they included living with a smoker, higher cumulative years of smoking, and a prostate cancer diagnosis. Participants were more likely to quit smoking following diagnosis if they had higher social well‐being scores. Treatment plans for cancer survivors need to include personalized smoking cessation strategies.
