Psychological distress and sleep in papillary thyroid carcinoma: a case–control study
These results reveal significant associations between psychological comorbidities, sleep dysfunction (particularly mild sleep disturbances), and PTC diagnosis, although the observational design precludes causal inference. Additionally, the results highlight the critical role of mental health in the clinical management of thyroid cancer. The incorporation of regular evaluations of depressive symptoms and sleep disturbances into clinical protocols is advised to improve the prognostic outcomes and quality of life of patients.
