CONCLUSIONS
The rate of cessation of smoking was low in our BC patients. Most of the
patients gave up smoking at the initial months of the BC diagnosis.
Therefore, it is important for urologists and other medical team to
promote smoking cessation especially at the first months after the
diagnosis. The clinicians must be aware of this data and act to lower
the smoking rates with these finding. Even the effect of smoking
cessation on oncological outcomes is still debatable; clinicians must
perform more effort to decrease the rates of smoking of their patients.
