Overview
This summary briefly covers smoking as a primary risk factor for cancer, but
the main focus is on the effect of smoking on cancer recurrence and diagnosis of a second primary cancer; patterns of quitting and continued smoking in
cancer patients; and recommendations for cancer patients to quit smoking.
Information on cancer prevention and quitting smoking in healthy people is
readily available elsewhere. The information presented in this summary is
related to smoking, rather than using other forms of tobacco, such as snuff or
chewing tobacco.
