Trial Identification

Brief Title: Smoking Tobacco Cessation Integrated Program of Patients Treated for the Head and the Neck Cancer

Official Title: Smoking Tobacco Cessation Integrated Program of Patients Treated for the Head and the Neck Cancer: a Controlled Randomized Study

Study ID: NCT03788785

Study Description

Brief Summary: Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) arise in the mucosa of the upper aero-digestive tract. They are the 6th most prevalent type of cancer worldwide. The risk related to tobacco is particularly high in the case of HNSCC, as the prevalence of heavy smoking for long periods is high in this population. The investigators' aim is to compare two models: one is a specific model of tobacco cessation intervention designed for health care teams treating patients with HNSCC; the other is the current standard of care for these patients, namely referral to external care after general advice on tobacco cessation. The investigators will evaluate the efficacy of this intervention 12 months after randomization. This intervention will be implemented into otolaryngology (ENT) care by training ENT nurses with a specific program for tobacco cessation delivered to patients diagnosed with HNSCC.

Detailed Description: Head and neck squamous cell carcinomas (HNSCCs) arise in the mucosa of the upper aero-digestive tract. They are the 6th most prevalent type of cancer worldwide, with approximately 600 000 new cases every year. The investigators hypothesize that a specifically-designed tobacco cessation intervention initiated and driven by trained nurses of the health care team, either in the otolaryngology (ENT) department or in the radiotherapy department, is more efficient than a classic intervention based on the same pharmacological support during the hospital stay (NRT) followed by an orientation in an external smoking cessation center, while remaining feasible for both patients and caregivers.The health care setting represents an ideal place to initiate cessation interventions with smokers who are newly diagnosed with a malignancy. The investigators' aim is to compare two models: one is a specific model of tobacco cessation intervention designed for health care teams treating patients with HNSCC; the other is the current standard of care for these patients, namely referral to external care after general advice on tobacco cessation. The investigators will evaluate the efficacy of this intervention 12 months after randomization. This intervention will be implemented into otolaryngology (ENT) care by training ENT nurses with a specific program for tobacco cessation delivered to patients diagnosed with HNSCC.
