Obstructive sleep apnea and the incidence and mortality of gastrointestinal cancers: a systematic review and meta-analysis of 5,120,837 participants
BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence has shown higher overall cancer incidence in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Gastrointestinal cancers, including esophageal, stomach, liver, pancreas, and colorectal cancers account for 26% of incident cancers. However, the link between gastrointestinal cancers a...

description | BACKGROUND: Emerging evidence has shown higher overall cancer incidence in patients with obstructive sleep apnea. Gastrointestinal cancers, including esophageal, stomach, liver, pancreas, and colorectal cancers account for 26% of incident cancers. However, the link between gastrointestinal cancers and obstructive sleep apnea is still unclear. We performed a systematic review and meta-analysis (registered PROSPERO CRD42021220836) to investigate the association between obstructive sleep apnea and incidence of gastrointestinal cancer. METHODS: We searched four electronic databases (PubMed, Embase, Cochrane Library, Scopus) and included studies published from inception till 15th November 2020 reporting the association of obstructive sleep apnea with gastrointestinal cancer incidence. Extracted data was meta-analyzed in a random-effects model. RESULTS: A total of seven studies were included, forming a combined cohort of 5,120,837 patients. Studies which adjusted for demographics and comorbidities were included in meta-analysis. Among four studies with 7–11 years of median follow-up, patients with obstructive sleep apnea experienced increased incidence of colorectal cancer (HR 1.70, 95% CI: 1.48–1.96, I(2)=22%). Pancreatic cancer incidence was nominally increased in three studies (HR 1.36, 95% CI: 0.88–2.09, I(2)=96), though this was not statistically significant. There was no association between obstructive sleep apnea and liver cancer incidence among three studies (HR 0.99, 95% CI: 0.81–1.22, I(2)=84). However, the lack of a statistically significant relationship between obstructive sleep apnea and pancreatic cancer in our meta-analysis does not necessarily imply the true absence of an association. CONCLUSIONS: An increased risk of colorectal cancer was seen in patients with obstructive sleep apnea among studies with long-term follow-up. Further research is required to explore the utility of incorporating obstructive sleep apnea screening into colorectal cancer screening guidelines to identify high-risk individuals and to confirm a possible association of obstructive sleep apnea with pancreatic cancer.
