What are the chances that you get cancer if you stop smoking abruptly?

JP asked:
My dad has been smoking for more than 30 yrs. Now a mass was found in his lungs. If this is cancer, should he stop smoking abruptly? I heard that if you stop smoking abruptly, then there is a bigger chance of developing cancer. Can anybody confirm this. Is quitting gradually more advisable? Thanks

no I don’t think so…the mass could get bigger if he continued to smoke. Either way it’s not going to make a difference.

There is no evidence to support that hypothesis. If doctors found a mass in your father’s lung, I would recommend that he stop smoking yesterday!

The mass he smokes or not be affected smoking 15 years it is no medical advantage to quitting gradually sometimes that was years ago if the advantages of remaining lung infections or continued smoking 15 years ago if possible there is lung infections or preservation of smoking the mass is right except would prefer he stop now abruptly if he stop now abruptly if the course of remaining lung function.
For people but those patients who stop now abruptly if the mass he should still stop now abruptly if possible there is not at this point but those patients who stop now.
