Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Patients with Head and Neck Cancer—More than Just a Comorbidity?

Obstructive sleep apnea is the most common type of sleep-disordered breathing with growing prevalence. Its presence has been associated with poor quality of life and serious comorbidities. There is increasing evidence for coexisting obstructive sleep apnea in patients suffering from head and neck ca...
