Sleep disturbances are underappreciated in prostate cancer survivorship.
Limited research exists on the prevalence of sleep issues in prostate cancer (PCa) survivors and the degree of urologist involvement in addressing sleep-related concerns. The researchers conducted a survey with PCa survivors (n = 167) and urologists (n = 145) to examine sleep problems and survivorship care practices. The study found a significant number of PCa survivors experienced sleep difficulties, with 50.9% reporting suboptimal sleep quality, 18.0% suffering from moderate/severe insomnia, and 36.5% at an elevated risk for sleep apnea. However, only a small number of urologists consistently screened for sleep disruptions, as advised in national cancer survivorship guidelines.
