“…Several small case series have described an increased risk of OSA in patients with squamous cell head and neck cancers. Using polysomnography (PSG) as the gold standard, these reports describe an incidence of OSA ranging from 8% to 92% [7,[15][16][17][18]. Only one study was in a pretreatment group, and the rest were in head and neck cancer patients posttreatment (radiation or surgery).…”

Background. Sleep disturbance is a prominent complaint of cancer patients. Most studies have focused on insomnia and cancer-related fatigue. Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) has been reported in small studies and case reports. Methods. In a retrospective review of patients who underwent formal sleep evaluation and polysomnography (PSG) from 2006 to 2011, 56 patients with tumors in the head and neck region were identified. Clinical characteristics, sleep-related history, and PSG data were reviewed. Results. Most patients had active cancer (80%), and the majority had squamous pathology (68%). Prominent symptoms included daytime fatigue (93%), daytime sleepiness (89%), and snoring (82%). Comorbid conditions primarily included hypertension (46%) and hypothyroidism (34%). Significant sleeprelated breathing disorder was noted in 93% of patients, and 84% met clinical criteria for OSA. A male predominance (77%) was noted, and patients were not obese (body mass index ,30 kg/m 2 in 52%).The majority of patients (79%) underwent radiation prior to sleep study, of which 88% had OSA, and in the

“…9,10 An investigation of 9,500 patients with snoring by Akiko Ikematsu revealed that 0.16% of these patients had diagnoses of bilateral laryngeal paralysis caused by multiple system atrophy and other neurodegenerative diseases (personal communication). The prevalences of SDB among head and neck cancer patients were 91.7% in one report 11 and 76.0% in another, 12 which are significantly higher than that in the general population. However, there has been no report mentioning the prevalence of tumors and cysts among patients who snore.…”
