Effect of cancer treatment on sleep quality in cancer patients: A systematic review and meta-analysis of Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index.

Cancer patients who underwent cancer treatment face lots of problems and adverse effects caused by treatment. Our results revealed that cancer patients experience poor quality of sleep during the whole trajectory of cancer even after a year from the initiation of treatment. After the end of treatment, sleep quality got better compared to during the treatment and returned to before the treatment level, but it is still poor and needs more sleep-related interventions to improve.
