Snoring has strong association with poor breast-cancer survival!

NEW YORK: A paper was recently published here in the Journal of Clinical Sleep Medicine, following examination of data of 21,230 women detected with a prime insidious tumor. It says that ladies who sleep less than 7 hours and are regular snorers are two times more likely to die from breast cancer.

The study found that one possible means underlying this association is the bad effect of deprived sleep on provocative ways that may be a causal aspect in the expansion of tumor.

Lead study author from University of Washington, Amanda Phipps said:  “We were surprised to see that snoring, especially in combination with short sleep duration, had such a strong association with cancer survival for certain cancer types.”

The study author further maintained: “To our knowledge, snoring has not previously been evaluated in relation to cancer survival, but our results suggest that it can be an important consideration.”

Researchers have stressed that at least 7 hours of sleep is required to overcome such dilemmas.
