OBJECTIVE
To examine fatigue among testicular cancer patients during the first year after diagnosis.
METHODS
Fifteen patients treated with orchidectomy (group 1) and 37 treated with orchidectomy plus chemotherapy (group 2) were assessed within 1 month after orchidectomy, and 3 and 12 months later.
OBJECTIVE
To investigate the prevalence of chronic fatigue (CF), the levels of anxiety and depression, and the correlation between these conditions in long-term survivors of testicular cancer (TCSs). Occurrence of CF in TCSs is compared with findings in male survivors of Hodgkin's disease (HDSs) and
Low-grade inflammatory responses may be related to the pathogenesis of cancer-related fatigue (CRF). We investigated circulating levels of various inflammatory markers in relation to chronic CRF (6 month duration) in Norwegian long-term survivors of testicular cancer (TCSs). We compared 92 TCSs with
OBJECTIVE
There is a concern about negative cognitive effects of systemic chemotherapy. We prospectively explored self-reported cognitive problems in testicular cancer patients (TCPs) treated with and without chemotherapy.
METHODS
One hundred and twenty-two TCPs were interviewed about concentration
BACKGROUND
Testicular cancer survivors (TCS) are at increased risk of cancer-related fatigue (CRF), psychosocial impairment, and poor mental health-related quality of life (HRQoL). Here, we examine the effects of high-intensity interval training (HIIT) on patient-reported outcomes (PROs) in TCS.
BACKGROUND
Chronic fatigue (CF) has been reported to be slightly more prevalent in testicular cancer survivors (TCSs) than in the general population. In this study, we wished to explore possible determinants of CF in TCSs median 12 (survey I) and 19 years (survey II) after treatment, in particular
BACKGROUND
Compensated Leydig cell (LC) dysfunction, defined by elevated serum levels of luteinizing hormone (LH) in combination with normal total testosterone levels, is common in testicular cancer (TC) survivors. The association between this condition and quality of life is unknown. We aimed to
Self-reported memory and concentration problems (cognitive complaints) among testicular cancer patients treated with chemotherapy or radiotherapy during the 1990-ies were prospectively explored. The chemotherapy group had significantly higher prevalence of cognitive complaints compared to the
Testicular cancer is the most common cancer in white males between the ages of 15 and 45 years. Treatment may include the administration of chemotherapy which has been associated with changes in emotional distress, quality of life, and symptom distress in other cancers. The current study was
A 39-year-old man whose chief complaints were general fatigue and bloody phlegm was diagnosed with testicular cancer and underwent left high orchiectomy at an affiliated hospital. The histopathologic diagnosis was chorio carcinoma. Several imaging examinations revealed the metastases in the lung,
Over the last 40 years, there has been a significant increase in the incidence of testicular cancer. The epidemiologic evidence to understand this phenomenon is unclear, however exogenous estrogen exposure is thought to be a driver in the development of testicular cancer. This is of OBJECTIVE
To determine the effects of intramuscular injections with testosterone (Sustanon) on sex-hormone levels, sexual functioning and general well-being in patients treated with orchidectomy for bilateral testicular cancer.
METHODS
The study comprised seven men (median age 38 years, range 25-46)
OBJECTIVE
To prospectively describe the effects of adjuvant chemotherapy on health-related quality of life (HRQOL) among men with newly diagnosed non-seminoma germ cell tumors of the testis. Several characteristics of testicular cancer--young age at diagnosis, increasing incidence, and high survival
OBJECTIVE
A growing number of patients with testicular cancer (TC) become long-term survivors. As a consequence, quality-of-life (QOL) issues become increasingly important. The objective of this study was to investigate QOL among Danish TC survivors.
METHODS
A long-term follow-up assessment of all
The purpose of this research is to study the prevalence of posttraumatic stress disorder (PTSD) and variables associated with PTSD in Norwegian long-term testicular cancer survivors (TCSs) both cross-sectionally and longitudinally.
At a mean of 11 years after diagnosis, 1418 TCSs responded to a
