Introduction[edit | edit source]
There is a bidirectional correlation between cancer and sleep disorders. This means that having a sleep disorder may increase the risk of developing cancer in the future, and those with cancer are likely to experience sleep disorders during diagnosis, treatment and even ten years of survivorship. [1] [2] On this page, this correlation will be detailed for various sleep and cancer diseases. Underlying causes as well as preventive and curative treatment methods will also be included since sleep disorders decrease the quality of life by affecting the physical and mental health of people with cancer/tumors [1] [2].
Underlying Mechanism[edit | edit source]
The sleep disorders in people with cancer are associated with the followings: [3]
- Activation of the inflammatory response even during chemotherapy: Cytokines activate microglia thus, astrocyte neurotoxic reaction.
- Production of interleukins by tumors: Interleukin-1 beta (IL-1 β) inhibits REM (rapid eye movement) sleep, and affects the neurotransmitters involved in sleep (adenosine, prostaglandins, nitric oxide, GABA). Interleukin-6 (IL-6) produce in high quantities in breast, lung, liver and prostate cancer also seems to reduce REM sleep and increase slow-wave sleep.
- The factors activating the hypothalamic orexin (also called hypocretin) neurons: Ghrelin (correlated with an increase of tumor progression), leptin (produced in breast, prostate, pancreas, ovary, lung and colorectal cancer and involved in the increase of proliferation of cancer cells), a reduction in pH, hypoglycemia and some amino acids.
- Changes induced by tumors in the serotonergic, dopaminergic, GABAergic and noradrenergic circuits
