Sleep Disorders and Tumor Immune Microenvironment

Title: Impact of Sleep Disorders on Tumor Immune Microenvironment and Clinical Outcomes in Lung Cancer: A Prospective Cohort Study Objective: This prospective study aims to investigate the causal relationship between sleep disorders (e.g., insomnia, obstructive sleep apnea \[OSA\]) and alterations in the tumor immune microenvironment (TIME) in lung cancer patients, and to evaluate their joint effects on immunotherapy response and long-term prognosis. Study Design: Prospective observational cohort study with 3-year follow-up. Participants: Newly diagnosed primary lung cancer patients (NSCLC/SCLC) prior to treatment initiation (n = 400, target sample size\*). Exposure Groups: Stratified by sleep disorder status (confirmed via polysomnography \[OSA\] and validated questionnaires \[e.g., PSQI ≥7 for insomnia\]).
