Problems and Alternatives for Korea National Lung Cancer Screening Program for Smoking Cessation: Analysis of a Survey Involving Experts

Lung cancer screening (LCS) trials, targeting people with smoking history, have demonstrated reduced mortality. How to optimally embed evidence-based smoking cessation support in LCS, including in Australia, needs to be better understood. We sought experts' perspectives to identify potential barriers and effective implementation strategies. 

“Because that is the right thing to do”: A focus group study of Australian expert perspectives on offering smoking cessation support in lung cancer screening

Both tobacco cessation and low-dose CT screening in at-risk individuals reduce lung cancer-specific and all-cause mortality. As part of a national screening program for the early detection of lung cancer, smoking cessation must be a mandatory part of the counseling given to participants. This increases the cost-benefit effectiveness of the screening program. As part of the initial consultation evidence-based measures for smoking cessation must be offered to smoking participants of the screening program in form of a minimal intervention. If participants do not want to participate in a quit smoking measure they must actively refuse (opt-out rule). The costs of quitting smoking, including the costs of withdrawal-inhibiting medication, have to be fully covered by statutory health insurance for participants in the lung cancer screening program.

Extract We now know that lung cancer screening with low-dose computed tomography saves lives. We have known for more than 60 years that smoking cessation (SC) saves lives. Can we save even more lives by combining these two effective interventions? The work by Murray et al. [1], in this issue of the European Respiratory Journal, is a big stride to show that we can.

Smoking cessation at lung cancer screening: joining (life-saving) dots.

Extract Low-dose computed tomography (LDCT) screening for lung cancer has been shown to reduce lung cancer-specific mortality in two large, randomised trials [1, 2], and implementation of screening is currently underway in many high- and middle-income countries [3]. Of those people responding to an invitation for lung cancer screening and subsequently eligible, between 30% and 50% are currently smoking [4, 5]. Evidence of the impact of screening alone on smoking cessation rates in randomised trials is mixed. Three studies have compared quit rates in participants randomised to LDCT screening versus a non-screened control group, with one study showing an increased quit rate in the screened group [6], one study showing no difference between screened and non-screened participants [7], and one study showing a higher quit rate in non-screened participants, although this effect did not persist after intention-to-treat analysis [8]. Importantly, smoking cessation interventions were minimal in all three studies, comprising signposting to existing services, written information to support quit attempts and (in one study) very brief advice [6–8].
