Brief Summary
Modification(s)  
This observational cross-sectional study explores the hypothesis that the upper airway in patients who have undergone therapy for head and neck cancer either in the form of major reconstructive surgery with/without radiotherapy alone or chemoradiation ,would have long tem upper airway distortion ,inflammation ,fibrosis and loss of tone and calibre.This could cause significant upper airway collapse during sleep causing Sleep disordered Breadthing (SDB) and Obstructive Sleep Apnea Hypopnea Syndrome (OSAHS).SDB is widely prevalent and underdiagnosed and causes compromised quality of life with remarkable improvement with treatment.This problem has never been studied in the subset of Head and neck cancer patients in India .A significant association between the two could ,by early detection and treatment,significantly improve the Quality of Life and could provide a rationale for introduction of routine Polysomnography in follow up of all treated Head and Neck Cancer patients, considering that Oral Cancers constitute a large proportion of cancers treated at our institution.
