Description

The study aims to investigate the relationship between alcohol use disorder (DSM-IV alcohol abuse) and ability to quit smoking at the end of treatment among adult cancer patients, who enrolled in MD Anderson Cancer Center’s Tobacco Research and Treatment Program (TRTP). The findings could lead to more effective and integrated treatment strategies and encourage clinicians to include combined pharmacological and behavioral interventions to treat dual substance use.
