Integrating the relevance of sleep into testicular-cancer survivorship care.
Sleep health, defined as a multidimensional construct encompassing regularity, duration, efficiency, satisfaction, timing, and daytime alertness, is a neglected pillar of testicular cancer survivorship. In parallel, common sleep disorders, including insomnia disorder and obstructive sleep apnea, remain underrecognized despite their relevance to cardiometabolic and endocrine health. This comment argues for the systematic integration of sleep screening and targeted interventions, such as CBT-I, into multi-disciplinary survivorship care. Recognizing sleep as a fundamental component of recovery offers a high-impact opportunity to optimize long-term clinical outcomes and quality of life for survivors.
