    <abstract locale="en_US">We are writing to bring the readers&#x2019; attention to the evolving perspectives in the treatment of sleep disturbance among cancer patients through behavioral change induction, rather than merely relying on medication. Sleep disturbance negatively affects these patients&#x2019; quality of life [1] and therapists increasingly need to understand the role of behavioral interventions in managing sleep problems, which are among distressing symptoms affecting this population.</abstract>
