Clinical Trial Summary

Close to 20% of cancer patients currently use nicotine products. Nicotine use in breast cancer patients is associated with poorer overall outcomes, including worsened survival and increased surgical complications. Nicotine cessation is rarely addressed in breast cancer patients at the time of diagnosis and may be a missed opportunity to optimize patient outcomes. Patients that use nicotine products are not offered reconstruction at time of mastectomy or oncoplastics at the time of lumpectomy, which can be emotionally distressing in women with breast cancer. Reconstruction could be an additional motivating factor in nicotine cessation success.

This study aims to evaluate the feasibility of a nicotine cessation program designed by Area Health Education Center (AHEC) in the target population. The study is designed to test the acceptability, and preliminary efficacy of a formal nicotine cessation program in women actively using nicotine products with breast cancer recommended for reconstructive or oncoplastics surgery.

Intervention

Behavioral:
• Nicotine cessation program
Participants will complete up to 4 sessions of a nicotine cessation program over either 12-24 weeks if receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to surgery or over 4-6 weeks if not receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to surgery. Each session will be 30-60 minutes long. Participants receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy will also be eligible for nicotine replacement therapy; however, it must be stopped 6 weeks before surgery.

Secondary	Acceptability	Determine the acceptability of the nicotine cessation program used in this study, as measured by participant surveys administered at baseline, at completion of the nicotine cessation program sessions, and at 6 weeks postoperatively.	10-30 weeks
Secondary	Preliminary efficacy	Determine the preliminary efficacy of the nicotine cessation program used in this study, as measured by participant surveys administered at baseline, at completion of the nicotine cessation program sessions, and at 6 weeks postoperatively.	10-30 weeks
Secondary	Short-term impact on nicotine cessation	Determine the short-term impact on nicotine cessation of the nicotine cessation program used in this study, as measured by cotinine levels 10 days prior to surgery.	10 days prior to surgery
Secondary	Long-term impact on nicotine cessation	Determine the long-term impact on nicotine cessation of the nicotine cessation program used in this study, as measured by a participant survey administered 12 months postoperatively.	12 months postoperatively
Secondary	Patient engagement	Determine patient engagement, as measured by number of program sessions completed and which program sessions were completed.	12-24 weeks (if receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to surgery) or 4-6 weeks (if not receiving neoadjuvant chemotherapy prior to surgery)
Secondary	Surgical procedure	Determine the surgical procedure each participant underwent following completion of the nicotine cessation program, including if the participant had either reconstruction or oncoplastics at the time of this surgery.	At surgery
