Abstract

Sleep disturbance affects a large proportion of cancer patients, insomnia being one of the most common symptoms reported. It is also a persistent condition in the context of the cancer trajectory. This chapter summarizes the prevalence estimates and possible risk factors and consequences for insomnia in this population. A description of some screening and assessment methods, including subjective and objective tools, follows. Then, available empirical findings on the efficacy of pharmacological and non-pharmacological treatments for sleep difficulties among cancer patients are presented, with an emphasis on cognitive-behavioural therapy that is considered the gold standard treatment. Several areas for future research are proposed, including the evaluation of strategies to improve patients’ access to cognitive-behavioural therapy for insomnia in clinical settings.
