Zevallos JP et al. - Continued smoking during treatment appeared to increase the risk for complications of XRT for patients with laryngopharyngeal cancer and possibly increased hospitalizations. This hypothesis-generating study emphasized the importance of smoking cessation programs in the management of patients with head and neck cancer patients who receive XRT.

Exclusive Author Commentary
Paul M. Cinciripini, 07/08/09

We hope this study stems continued research which looks prospectively at the beneficial effects of smoking cessation for patients with cancer. Such information might be used to assist physicians in treatment planning for their patients who smoke and can serve as a motivational message to patients who might not otherwise see the potential benefits of smoking cessation.
