Year: 2014

Type: article

Abstract: To the authors' knowledge, the 2014 Surgeon General's report “The Health Consequences of Smoking‐50 Years of Progress” provides the first large evidence review of the effects of smoking on the outcomes of patients with cancer, concluding that smoking causes adverse health outcomes, increases all‐cause mortality, and increases cancer‐specific mortality. This causal evidence has profound implications on providing high‐quality cancer care by emphasizing the need to address tobacco use in all patients with cancer.
