S1 Ep224: Managing Insomnia in Cancer Care: Sleep Hygiene, CBT-I, and Medications
<div> <p>Experts discuss diagnosing and treating insomnia in patients with cancer through methods like sleep hygiene, CBT-I, and pharmacotherapy.</p><p>Insomnia is one of the most common symptoms oncologists are asked to manage, yet it’s often treated reactively with medication rather than through a structured, history-driven approach. In this episode of Oncology On the Go, Daniel C. McFarland, DO, sat down with psychiatrist and psycho-oncologist Virginia C. O’Brien, MD, to unpack how clinicians can more effectively evaluate and treat insomnia in patients with cancer.</p><p>The conversation opened with a foundational distinction: primary vs secondary insomnia, and why secondary insomnia—driven by anxiety, depression, pain, or cancer treatment itself—is far more common in oncology populations. O’Brien emphasized that the most frequent clinical mistake is jumping straight to a prescription instead of taking a thorough sleep history, including which phase of sleep is disrupted (falling asleep, staying asleep, or early waking) and whether the problem is affecting daytime functioning.</p><p>From there, the discussion moved through practical sleep hygiene strategies clinicians can share with patients, such as limiting caffeine and screens, managing pets and partners in the bedroom, and setting a consistent nighttime routine. Then, they dove into cognitive behavioral therapy for insomnia (CBT-I), the first-line recommended treatment. O’Brien explained how sleep restriction works, why it’s often impractical during active chemotherapy, and how free digital tools like CBT-i Coach can help fill access gaps.</p><p>The latter part of the discussion tackled pharmacologic management in detail: when medications are appropriate for acute insomnia; how to sequence options from least to most habit-forming; and specific guidance on trazodone (Desyrel), ramelteon (Rozerem), zolpidem (Ambien; including FDA dosing warnings for women), benzodiazepines, and newer orexin receptor antagonists. Special attention was given to older patients, those with a fall risk, and patients with a history of substance use disorder.</p><p>The experts closed with guidance on when to refer to a sleep medicine specialist, including STOP-BANG screening for obstructive sleep apnea and red flags for parasomnias like REM sleep behavior disorder.</p><p>McFarland is the director of the Psycho-Oncology Program at Wilmot Cancer Center and a medical oncologist who specializes in head, neck, and lung cancer, in addition to being a psycho-oncology editorial advisory board member for the journal ONCOLOGY®. O’Brien is system director of Ambulatory Psychiatry at the Carilion Clinic. </p></div>

S1 Ep222: How Does a Death Doula Support Patients With Cancer?
<div> <p>In this episode of Oncology On the Go, CancerNetwork® spoke with Kim Stravers, an International End-of-Life Doula Association (INELDA)–certified end-of-life doula, educator, and trainer based in the Phoenix Valley, to explore how death doulas support patients with cancer and their families across all stages of the disease trajectory.</p><p>Stravers opened by defining the scope of end-of-life doula work, clarifying that doulas provide nonmedical emotional, practical, and relational support to people confronting their mortality and those who care for them. She distinguished the role from hospice nursing and palliative care by emphasizing that doulas never act in a clinical capacity; they instead function as neutral companions who facilitate difficult conversations, help patients clarify their values and wishes, and advocate for individual autonomy across medical and personal decision-making. She also discussed her volunteer work within an interdisciplinary hospice team in Phoenix and described her invitation to speak at Grand Rounds for the Palliative Care Department at Mayo Clinic Arizona to introduce the role to clinical providers.</p><p>When addressing cancer-specific experiences, Stravers noted that patients often come to her late in their trajectory, frequently within the 6-month hospice eligibility window, and described nonpharmacological techniques she uses to support breakthrough pain and existential distress, including body scans and guided visualization. She also shared a detailed patient case involving a woman with pancreatic cancer and Lynch syndrome whose daughter previously died of the same disease, describing how the shared diagnosis intensified the patient's anticipatory anxiety and how weekly doula visits helped provide periods of calm.</p><p>Additional topics included the credentialing landscape for end-of-life doulas, which currently lacks a national licensure body, with organizations such as INELDA offering varied training and certification pathways. Stravers also addressed the portrayal of a death doula in the television drama The Pitt, affirming elements she found accurate while flagging several areas she viewed as outside the appropriate scope of doula practice. </p><p>Stravers holds certification through INELDA, where she also serves as an educator and trainer, as well as proficiency through the National End-Of-Life Doula Alliance (NEDA).</p></div>
