Abstract

Purpose

Sleep is a multi-dimensional human function that is associated with cancer outcomes. Previous work on sleep and cancer mortality have not investigated how this relationship varies by sex and cancer site. We investigated the association of sleep duration and perceived insomnia with site-specific and overall cancer mortality among participants in the Cancer Prevention Study–II.

Methods

Sleep was collected at baseline in 1982 among 1.2 million cancer-free US adults. Cancer-specific mortality was determined through 2018. We used multivariable Cox proportional hazard models to calculate hazard ratios and 95% confidence intervals for overall and site-specific cancer mortality, stratified by sex.

Results

Among 983,105 participants (56% female) followed for a median of 27.9 person-years, there were 146,911 primary cancer deaths. Results from the adjusted model showed short (6 h/night) and long (8 h/night and 9–14 h/night) sleep duration, compared to 7 h/night, were associated with a modest 2%, 2%, and 5% higher risk of overall cancer mortality, respectively, and there was a significant non-linear trend (p-trend < 0.01). This non-linear trend was statistically significant among male (p-trend < 0.001) but not female (p-trend 0.71) participants. For male participants, short and long sleep were associated with higher risk of lung cancer mortality and long sleep was associated with higher risk of colorectal cancer mortality. Perceived insomnia was associated with a 3–7% lower risk of overall cancer mortality.

Conclusion

Sleep is important to consider in relation to sex- and site-specific cancer mortality. Future research should investigate other components of sleep in relation to cancer mortality.

Adjuvanter PD-L1-Hemmer verhindert Rezidive bei Hochrisiko-Urothelkarzinom

Sind Menschen mit muskelinvasivem Urothelkarzinom für die neoadjuvante platinbasierte Therapie nicht geeignet oder sprechen sie darauf nicht gut an, ist Pembrolizumab eine adjuvante Alternative: Die krankheitsfreie Lebenszeit wird dadurch mehr als verdoppelt.

Duale Checkpointhemmung gegen Melanome verlängert langfristig das Leben

Im Vergleich zu den Überlebenschancen vor der Einführung von Immuncheckpointhemmern (ICI) ist der Fortschritt durch eine ICI-Kombination mit unterschiedlichen Tagets bei fortgeschrittenem Melanom erstaunlich. Das belegen die finalen Ergebnisse der CheckMate-067-Studie und geben Betroffenen "Hoffnung auf Heilung".

Knochenmarktransplantat als Chance für ältere AML-Patienten

Lange Zeit ist die Transplantation von hämatopoetischen Stammzellen nur bei jüngeren Patienten mit akuter myeloischer Leukämie praktiziert worden. Inzwischen profitieren auch Ältere davon. Ergebnisse einer Studie unterstützen dieses Vorgehen.

Nierenzellkarzinom: Kein Nachteil durch subkutan appliziertes Nivolumab

Die subkutane Applikation von Nivolumab ist nach Daten einer Phase-3-Studie ähnlich gut wirksam wie die intravenöse: Die Pharmakokinetik ist vergleichbar, die objektive Response war in der Studie sogar leicht besser als in der Gruppe mit Infusionen.
