Maybe doctors shouldn't treat Cancer patients with XPAPs, It gives XPAPs a bad name. Jim

I have never heard of any linkage and I know of no reasons to suspect a relationship.
I remember learning that if you live long enough, you will eventually die of cancer.

Many people have died of cancer who never used CPAP. Maybe their failure to use CPAP was the cause!

I knew a lot more people that have died from cancer that didn't use cpap... is there something they're not telling us?

Just because two independent actions take place, it does not always mean they are interrelated. There are many people who use CPAP and are diabetic, but doesn't mean one caused the other.

Yes, if all other possible causes of death are eliminated, then everybody would die of cancer, eventually!

Using that logic, if you can avoid cancer... You'll live for ever!!

Kind of hard for dead people to tell us anything. BTW the proper spelling is "they're" not "their" in this context. But no, it is not likely that XPAP causes cancer if that is what you are implying is being hidden from us.

We all die a little a day, but I can guarantee if you have Sleep Apnea and don't treat it correctly you will be dying faster than necessary. Your choice, as always! Jim

sounds like another e-mail harvester fishing for e-mails.

That is if can can also prevent all other causes of death as well!

Instead of worrying about CPAP-caused cancer, you should worry about illnesses caused by untreated Sleep Apnea; possibly even cancers.

BTW, the forst CPAP patient was so ill that the doctors were not sure he would make it through the first night back in 1980 (CPAP or not). He died of cancer in 2014 (living 34 years more that he was expected to) ! I would say he lived to get cancer, rather than he died if CPAP caused cancer.
