Evaluation of Obstructive Sleep Apnea in Head and Neck Cancer

This trial studies information from a home sleep apnea machine to evaluate obstructive sleep
apnea in patients with stage III-IV head and neck cancer. Sleep apnea (trouble breathing
during sleep) can occur in head and neck cancer patients who have swelling in their neck.
Wearing a sleep apnea machine overnight may help doctors evaluate obstructive sleep apnea in
patients with head and neck cancer.


Inclusion Criteria:

- Locally advanced (stage III-IVb) and metastatic (stage IVc) HNSCC who are referred to
medical oncology. Patients may not have received upfront definitive surgical resection
of the primary tumor or upfront neck dissection.

- Patients must be able to operate the home sleep study device.

- Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group (ECOG) performance status 0-2.

Exclusion Criteria:

- Patients should not have received any prior systemic chemotherapy or radiation therapy
for locally advanced or metastatic HNSCC.

- Patients with tracheostomy or those requiring the assistance of a ventilator will be
ineligible for the study.
