The smoking habits of 52 patients who had survived more than five years after treatment for lung cancer were studied. Fifty-six per cent had stopped smoking before operation but this was not an early feature of the disease. No patients smoked in the immediate postoperative period but 48% became regular smokers again, usually within a year of the operation. Those who had stopped before, rather than after, their operation were more likely to remain nonsmokers. Doctors were usually unsuccessful in persuading those patients who had restarted after surgery to stop smoking. Patients undergoing surgery for lung cancer should be advised to stop smoking before the operation. Those in whom resection is successful should receive regular support and encouragement from doctors, especially in the first postoperative year, to continue as nonsmokers.
对52例肺癌治疗后存活超过5年的患者的吸烟习惯进行了研究。56%的患者在手术前就已戒烟，但这并非该疾病的早期特征。术后即刻没有患者吸烟，但48%的患者再次成为经常吸烟者，通常是在术后一年内。那些在手术前而非手术后戒烟的患者更有可能保持不吸烟状态。医生通常无法说服那些术后重新开始吸烟的患者戒烟。应该建议接受肺癌手术的患者在手术前戒烟。手术切除成功的患者应得到医生定期的支持和鼓励，尤其是在术后第一年，以继续保持不吸烟状态。
