Sleep apnea leads to cancer
April 19, 2014 10:48
People who have obstructive sleep apnea are more likely to develop cancer, a new research found.
Moderate-to-severe OSA was associated with a 2.5-fold increase in cancer risk and a 3.5-fold rise in cancer death, according to a study by the University of Sydney in Australia, Newsmax Health reports with reference to Medical Page Today.
"Mortality and morbidity in OSA seem to be driven by a combination of cancer and cardiovascular disease [particularly stroke]," wrote the researchers in a report on their study, published in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine.
