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.
