[Survey of physicians on dealing with the topic "Tobacco consumption in patients with lung cancer"].
About 40 % of the patients are active smokers when diagnosed lung cancer. Half of these patients is the nicotine consumption continues despite the existence of cancer. The overall mortality in these patients is a factor of 3 higher. In addition, the quality of life increases and symptoms such as cough and dyspnoea are reduced. ⋯ The doctors were quite convinced of the benefit of a smoking stop in the treatment of the lung carcinoma. Lung cancer patients would benefit if smoking cessation would be even more integrated into the overall therapy. For that one could rely on already established cessation programs and concepts for clinics.
