Other studies, however, have yielded mixed results, with no link identified between sleep apnea and cancer in some Canadian studies.
Monika Wassermann, MD at Oliolusso, explained: “Sleep apnea can increase your cancer and mortality risks from cancer in several ways, including mild to moderate sleep apnea which causes blockage of the respiratory system, making it difficult for people to sleep when sleeping.
“This can trigger the development of new blood vessels and tissues, neo-vascularisation which stimulates the growth of tumours or cancerous cells.”
Although data is inconsistent, there is also evidence linking a higher incidence of cancer to obesity, which is inextricably linked to sleep apnea.
