Evaluation of Sleep Quality in Prostate Cancer Patients Undergoing Treatment With Hormonal Therapeutic Approaches and in Patients With Full-resected Early Breast Cancer

Summary

This study will use polysomnography, alongside other methodologies such as questionnaires, actigraphic measurements and salivary melatonin samples used in previous studies to investigate sleep quality in patients with i) localized, locally advanced or metastatic hormone sensitive prostate cancer or ii) with full-resected early (stage I-III) epithelial breast cancer. The measurements will be taken before androgen deprivation therapy (ADT - for prostate cancer patients) or endocrine therapy (for breast cancer patients) is initiated, at 6 months and some measures again at 12 months.The groups, defined by cancer type and whether or not treatment includes ADT / endocrine therapy, will be compared to see if there are differences in the prevalence of the lowered sleep quality in the groups.
