ABSTRACT BACKGROUND The prevalence of sleep disturbances among prostate cancer (PCa) survivors, and extent of urologist involvement in sleep care are not well-studied. METHODS PCa survivors


(_n_ = 167) and urologists (_n_ = 145) were surveyed about sleep disturbances and survivorship care practices. RESULTS Most PCa survivors had sleep disturbances, including 50.9% with poor


sleep quality, 18.0% with clinical/severe insomnia, and 36.5% at high-risk for sleep apnea. Few urologists routinely screened for sleep disturbances, as recommended in national cancer


survivorship guidelines. CONCLUSIONS Optimal PCa survivorship care should incorporate screening for sleep disturbances, addressing comorbid factors affecting sleep and referring to sleep
