Cancer is the number one cause of death among men in China. Cigarette smoking is the most preventable cause of cancer. Data on the impact of continued smoking after cancer diagnosis on survival of cancer patients are sparse. We studied the association between post-diagnosis smoking and risk of all-cause death among 1,632 incident cancer patients in the Shanghai Cohort Study, a population-based prospective cohort of 18,244 men in Shanghai. The change of smoking status after baseline interview was ascertained through annual in-person interviews. Cox proportional hazards regression models were used to estimate hazard ratio (HR) and 95% confidence interval (CI) for all-cause mortality associated with change in smoking status. Patients who continued smoking after cancer diagnosis experienced a statistically significant 59% (95% CI = 36–86%) increase in risk of death compared with cancer patients who did not smoke after cancer diagnosis. Among current smokers at cancer diagnosis, HRs (95% CIs) were 1.79 (1.49–2.16) in all cancer patients, 2.36 (1.63–3.42) in lung cancer patients, 1.63 (0.98–2.73) in stomach cancer patients, 2.31 (1.40–3.81) in colorectal cancer patients, and 2.95 (1.09–7.95) in bladder cancer patients who continued smoking compared with their counterparts who stopped smoking after cancer diagnosis. Post-diagnosis cigarettes smoking significantly increased the risk of death for male cancer patients. These data provide new information regarding smoking and cancer survival, which should inform future research into the contextual and individual-level barriers that may result in inadequate attention of smoking among cancer patients in the post-diagnosis setting.
