Excessive daytime sleepiness in cancer patients.

CONCLUSIONS: EDS in patients with cancer may be multifactorial, but persistent symptoms may indicate an underlying disorder of hypersomnolence. Sleep referral and polysomnography to exclude other sleep disorders may be indicated. MSLT can help confirm the diagnosis. In those with normal MSLT, further evaluation for mood disorder should be considered.
