Abstract
Compared to the general population, insomnia is three to five times more prevalent in patients during and after cancer treatment. Reasons for this increased prevalence include the impact of the disease itself, the emotional consequences of a cancer diagnosis, and the short- and long-term side effects of cancer treatment. In this chapter, the conceptualization of insomnia in cancer survivors is reviewed, the evidence for the efficacy of cognitive-behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I) in cancer survivors is presented, and recommendations are provided for how to adapt CBT-I for use with patients who are undergoing or have completed cancer treatment.
