RATIONALE: Physician-initiated smoking cessation strategies may be effective in getting early-stage cancer patients to quit smoking.
PURPOSE: Randomized clinical trial to compare the effectiveness of a physician-initiated stop-smoking program with the usual care for patients receiving treatment for early-stage cancer.
OBJECTIVES:
OUTLINE: This is a randomized, multicenter study. Patients are stratified according to center. Patients are randomized to 1 of 2 treatment arms.
All patients are followed at 6 and 12 months. Patients who report that they are still smoking and interested in help to quit smoking at the 12-month follow-up interview are encouraged to return to their physicians and contact the CIS for additional help quitting or for a referral to more intensive or specialized treatments in their area.

5,578 studies on the registry are indexed under Lymphoma; 825 are open to participants now.
