How are Sleep Disorders Diagnosed in Cancer Patients?
Diagnosing sleep disorders in cancer patients typically involves a comprehensive evaluation that includes:
Medical History: A thorough review of the patient's medical history, including their cancer diagnosis, treatments, and any medications they are taking. Sleep History: Detailed questions about the patient's sleep patterns, habits, and any symptoms they are experiencing. Sleep Studies: In some cases, a sleep study or polysomnography may be conducted to monitor the patient's sleep and identify specific disorders such as sleep apnea.
