TY - JOUR AU - Carreras, Giulia AU - Gorini, Giuseppe PY - 2017 TI - Challenges of quitting smoking and lung cancer screening JF - Annals of Translational Medicine; Vol 5, No 24 (December 14, 2017): Annals of Translational Medicine Y2 - 2017 KW - N2 - In a recent publication, Brain and colleagues showed that participants to the UK Lung Cancer Screening (UKLS) pilot trial significantly increased smoking cessation in two years compared to non-participants. In fact, 15% of smokers in the screening arm and 10% in the control arm successfully quitted at two years from the first screening. The effect of the trial arm on quitting smoking was significant, with cessation rates of 15% and 10% at 2 years in intervention and control arms, respectively (1).
