Key Points Question Are individuals who currently smoke (current smokers) less likely to undergo age-appropriate cancer screening than never and former smokers? Findings In this nationally representative, cross-sectional study of 83 176 participants, current smokers were less likely to adhere to US Preventive Services Task Force screening guidelines for colonoscopy, mammography, or prostate-specific antigen testing compared with never smokers. Meaning This study found that disparities in cancer screening occurred among current smokers, which may prompt initiatives to increase uptake of cancer screening in this population at high risk for cancer.
