Summary

This study examines how common obstructive sleep apnea (OSA) is in adult survivors of Hodgkin lymphoma who received chest radiation. Researchers will compare 220 survivors to matched controls using sleep tests, brain scans, and heart assessments. The goal is to understand links between sleep apnea, heart problems, and brain health in this high-risk group.
