Sleep-Disordered Breathing Is Independently Associated With Increased Aggressiveness of Cutaneous Melanoma: A Multicenter Observational Study in 443 Patients.
Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) has been associated with a greater incidence and mortality of cancer, although such findings are inconsistent. However, no large studies are currently available to investigate this association in patients with a specific type of cancer. This study seeks to assess potential relationships between SDB severity and aggressiveness markers of cutaneous melanoma. ⋯ The severity of SDB was independently associated with greater aggressiveness of cutaneous melanoma, particularly among younger patients.
