Obstructive Sleep Apnea and Colorectal Cancer: A Systematic Review and Meta-Analysis.

Background: Obstructive sleep apnea (OSA), characterised by recurrent episodes of upper airway collapse, intermittent hypoxia (IH) and sleep fragmentation (SF), has been associated with carcinogenesis in pre-clinical models. The relationship between OSA and colorectal cancer (CRC) in clinical studies is controversial.

Aim: The objective of this meta-analysis was to assess the association between OSA and CRC.

New lung cancer diagnosis after emergency department presentation in a tertiary hospital: patient characteristics and outcomes.

Objectives: Currently, there are limited data available about patients who are diagnosed with lung cancer following an emergency department (ED) visit. This study sought to define the demographics, symptoms profile, staging, and prognosis of this cohort of patients.

Methods: We conducted a retrospective study of patients diagnosed with a primary lung malignancy at a lung cancer multidisciplinary meeting between January 2018 and January 2020.

"I Wasn't Gonna Let It Stop Me": Exploring Women's Experiences of Getting Through Chemotherapy for Ovarian Cancer.

There is some indication that chemotherapy completion is associated with improved survival, although currently little is known about what helps women get through chemotherapy.

Objective: The aim of this study was to explore women's accounts of the factors they believed were helpful during their ovarian cancer treatment.
