Abstrakt:	A recent study conducted at the University of Greifswald in Germany explored the prevalence of obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) in patients with head and neck squamous cell carcinoma (HNSCC) before and after treatment. The researchers found that OSA is common in patients with HNSCC and that tumor treatment can lead to an increased occurrence of sleep-related breathing disorders, particularly in patients with advanced tumor stages undergoing primary chemoradiation. The study highlights the need for further research to better understand the exact mechanisms involved. This information is valuable for individuals researching head and neck cancer and its impact on sleep disorders. [Extracted from the article]
