Smoking Cessation in Patients With Cancer
Sponsor: Nguyen Duc Khoa, MD, PhD
Summary
This randomized controlled trial will evaluate whether adding one-session structured cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT)-based smoking-cessation counseling to standardized brief smoking-cessation counseling improves cigarette smoking abstinence among patients with cancer who smoked combustible cigarettes at diagnosis and are still smoking at screening and enrollment. After written informed consent and baseline assessment, all participants will receive the same standardized brief smoking-cessation counseling using a condensed 5A framework. Participants will then be randomly assigned 1:1 to no additional study CBT or to one additional structured CBT-based smoking-cessation session. Follow-up will continue for 3 months after randomization at Campus 3 of Vietnam National Cancer Hospital in Hanoi, Vietnam.

Interventions
Standardized Brief Smoking-Cessation Counseling
Common pre-randomization care delivered to all enrolled participants after consent and baseline assessment and before allocation is revealed. One individual face-to-face session lasting approximately 3-5 minutes using a condensed 5A framework (Ask, Advise, Assess, Assist, Arrange).
Add-on One-Session Structured CBT-Based Smoking-Cessation Counseling
Only participants randomized to the intervention arm are offered one additional individual face-to-face CBT-based smoking-cessation session lasting approximately 20-30 minutes after allocation. Six modules address smoking-related cognitions/beliefs, cognitive restructuring, individualized quit goal/date/plan, triggers/high-risk situations, coping for cravings/withdrawal/stress, and relapse-prevention/lapse management. Delivery is standardized and fidelity is recorded.
