Tobacco Assessment in Actively Accruing National Cancer Institute Clinical Trials Network Trials
In 2012, few (< 30%) cancer clinical trials evaluated tobacco use at enrollment and < 5% did so during follow-up, prompting efforts to promote and standardize tobacco assessment in oncology research and practice (including the development of the Cancer Patient Tobacco Use Questionnaire [C-TUQ]). The present study builds on this foundational paper and finds an overall increase in tobacco use assessment with room for improvement: 49.3% of trials in 2022 assessed tobacco use at enrollment and 8.3% did so during follow-up. About 20.8% used at least one C-TUQ question, highlighting that tobacco use assessment is not yet fully incorporated into oncology clinical trials.
