Does sleep apnea worsen lung cancer in Non-Smokers?
NCT ID NCT05224180
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looked at 77 never-smokers newly diagnosed with lung cancer to see how many also have sleep apnea and whether sleep apnea affects their cancer outlook. Participants had a sleep test before starting cancer treatment. The goal is to understand if sleep apnea is a hidden factor in lung cancer outcomes for people who never smoked.
