25 CONCLUSIONS Insomnia was a frequent and multifactorial symptom in our PCU Patients atributed insomnia mostly to physical factors Patients presented a high level of emotional distress The Sleep Disturbance Scale can be a useful tool for initial evaluation and follow-up of insomnia in PCU
26 CONCLUSIONS Moderate to severe insomnia was frequent and it was associated with a higher degree of worry about insomnia and with disseminated cancer. Organic changes or treatment associated with advanced disease may contribute to sleep cycle disruption
27 CONCLUSIONS More prospective studies are needed to determine the factors associated with insomnia and to understand the possible relationship between them
