Abstract
Sleep problems are one of the major complaints in patients with cancer, before treatment, while undergoing chemotherapy or radiation therapy, and after the completion of cancer treatment. As in other medically ill patients, disturbed sleep in cancer patients may be an im portant contributor to poor quality of life, to their tolerance to treatment, and to the development of mood disorders, particularly depression. Disruptions in circadian rhythms also affect sleep. The degree of sleep disruption found in patients with cancer is not trivial. Objectively recorded sleep and biological rhythms confirm that these are major problems in cancer patients. Sleep Med Res 2015;6(2):45-49
