Description
Pianpian Cao and co-authors weigh the costs of quit-smoking help tied to lung cancer screening in a 2026 study. Screening finds lung cancer early in people who smoke or once smoked. Adding help to quit could save more lives, but its long-term value for money in the United States was unclear. The team pooled data from four trials in a national program.
More than twenty-five hundred people who smoked took part across twenty-three trial arms. The arms were grouped into eight classes by the strength of drug help and counseling. Costs per person ranged from about forty dollars to about eight hundred. Quit rates rose with stronger help, and so did cost per quit. A lifetime model favored a class with strong drug help but light counseling. The authors test how the verdict shifts with varied quit rates and costs.
