Spots Global Cancer Trial Database for Study of Psychopathological Characteristics of Patient Smoking in Thoracic Oncology

Study Description

Brief Summary: Persistent smoking after lung cancer has been the subject of medical, therapeutic and epidemiological publications for twenty years of research. Continued persistent smoking is all the more a problem for oncologists as there is evidence that smoking cessation, with lung cancer, gives therapeutic benefit. Quitting smoking can improve the response to treatments (chemotherapy, radiotherapy, surgery), quality of life and overall survival. However many patients refuse adhesion to tobacco cessation. Daily practice leads us to the hypothesis that adhesion differences aren't related to the denial of medical information, nor to resignation or to nicotine dependence. Patients who continue smoking seem to face a form of impossibility to wean. Cigarette seems to be felt as a part of their body in their narration and description of their body image.
