Iatrogenic ascites is an uncommon complication of surgery of the retroperitoneum, the base of the mesentery or mediastinum. We treated 18 patients with chylous ascites occurring after retroperitoneal dissection for testicular cancer. Patients were diagnosed by paracentesis or on clinical grounds
OBJECTIVE
Cisplatin-based chemotherapy is widely used in the treatment for germ cell testicular tumors. However, long-term complications of this treatment have gained importance, and hypercholesterolemia is one of these. In some studies, hypercholesterolemia is reported following the cisplatin-based
OBJECTIVE
To evaluate whether males with testicular cancer treated with chemotherapy including cisplatin (Qt-C) develop an increase in serum cholesterol and triglyceride levels and in the body mass index (BMI), which might pose a cardiovascular risk.
METHODS
Fifty-six male patients with the previous
Testicular cancer survivors treated with chemotherapy are at increased risk for metabolic syndrome (MetS) and cardiovascular disease (CVD). We explored acute effects of chemotherapy by assessing metabolic factors, abdominal fat volume, hepatic triglyceride content (HTC) and aortic wall stiffness.
We
OBJECTIVE
To determine whether long-term survivors of metastatic testicular cancer have an increased risk of cardiovascular morbidity more than 10 years after chemotherapy.
METHODS
Eighty-seven patients treated with cisplatin-containing chemotherapy before 1987 who were in remission for at least 10
BACKGROUND
Because of the increasing number of long-term survivors of metastatic testicular germ-cell cancer, a general concern has been secondary morbidities, especially cardiovascular risk factors.
METHODS
Thirty-two patients treated with cisplatin- and doxorubicin-containing chemotherapy > or =
Two cases of chylous ascites secondary to lymph node dissection for testicular tumors are presented. The diagnosis is confirmed by analysis of the fluid obtained by paracentesis, revealing fat globules, a positive staining with Sudan III, a smear showing mainly lymphocytes, and a high fat content.
A rare complication of retroperitoneal surgery is damage to lymphatic vessels, leak of chyle and the development of chylous ascites. This complication can be life threatening and has a relatively high mortality rate. We describe a 38-year-old patient with a massive chylous ascites after extensive
OBJECTIVE
Elevated total serum cholesterol levels have been reported recently in a group of patients with metastatic testicular cancer after treatment with cisplatin combination chemotherapy. We have studied the lipid profile of a similar group of patients in an attempt to confirm this
Although the association between blood pressure, serum lipids and cancer risk has been investigated, the results are controversial. The aim of this literature review was to examine the epidemiological evidence and provide overview of the association between blood pressure, serum lipids and cancer
