  • US cancer centers offer smoking cessation services, but these programs are limited by hospital financial resources and staff training availability.

    “And while cancer research centers in the US do offer smoking cessation services to cancer patients, including the National Cancer Institute (NCI) Moonshot-funded Cancer Center Cessation Initiative (C3I) at NCI-designated cancer centers, these cessation programs are limited by hospital financial resources and availability of training to clinical staff.17–20”

About these checks

Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.

Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.

Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
