<背景>

睡眠障害性呼吸(SDB)はがんの頻度、死亡率増加と関連しているが、議論のあるところである。

ある特異的ながん患者でこの関連を調べる大規模な研究は今のところない。

この研究ではSDBの重症度と皮膚メラノーマの攻撃性マーカーとの潜在的関連を評価した。

 

<方法>

メラノーマの診断のついた443名が診断後6か月以内に睡眠検査を行った。

一般データを収集し、メラノーマの特徴、無呼吸低呼吸指数(AHI)や

持続性、間欠的夜間オキシヘモグロビン飽和度低下(DI4%)などのポリソムノグラフのパラメータも収集した。

SDBとメラノーマのさまざまな攻撃性マーカー

(Breslow指数、潰瘍の有無、再燃の有無、細胞分裂指数、ステージ、センチネルリンパ節へのダメージ、メラノーマの進展度)

との関連を検討した。

 

<結果>

AHI, DI4%の上位1/3の患者は、下位1/3と比較して

攻撃性メラノーマ(Breslow指数 >1mm)の可能性がそれぞれ1.94倍 (95% CI, 1.14-3.32; P = .022)、

1.93 倍(95% CI, 1.14-3.26; P = .013)高かった(年齢、性別、腫瘍部位、BMIで補正)。

この関連は特にBreslow指数 >2mmで56歳未満の患者で顕著だった。

他の攻撃性マーカーの存在もAHI, DI4%高値と関連していた。

 

<感想>

SDBの重症度は皮膚メラノーマの攻撃性と独立して関連していたようです。

 

 

Background

Sleep-disordered breathing (SDB) has been associated with a greater incidence and mortality of cancer, although such findings are inconsistent. However, no large studies are currently available to investigate this association in patients with a specific type of cancer. This study seeks to assess potential relationships between SDB severity and aggressiveness markers of cutaneous melanoma.

 

Methods

Four hundred and forty-three patients with a diagnosis of melanoma underwent a sleep study within 6 months of diagnosis. General demographics were collected, along with melanoma characteristics and polygraphic parameters consisting of the apnea-hypopnea index (AHI) and indices of both continuous and intermittent night-time oxyhemoglobin desaturation (DI4%). An exploration of independent relationships between SDB and various objective melanoma aggressiveness markers (Breslow index, presence of ulceration, presence of regression, mitotic index, stage of severity, damage to the sentinel lymph, and spreading of the melanoma) was performed.

 

Results

Patients in the upper tertiles of AHI or DI4% were 1.94 (95% CI, 1.14-3.32; P = .022) and 1.93 (95% CI, 1.14-3.26; P = .013) times more likely, respectively, to present with aggressive melanoma (Breslow index > 1 mm) than those in the lowest tertiles of these sleep attributes after adjustment for age, sex, tumor location, and BMI. This association was particularly prominent among patients < 56 years of age with Breslow index > 2 mm. The presence of the additional markers of aggressiveness was also associated with higher AHI and DI4% values.

 

Conclusions

The severity of SDB was independently associated with greater aggressiveness of cutaneous melanoma, particularly among younger patients.
