      Physical activity (PA) has been associated with reduced mortality among cancer survivors, but no study has focused on testicular cancer survivors (TCSs). We aimed to investigate the association of PA measured twice during survivorship with overall mortality in TCSs. TCSs treated during 1980 to 1994 participated in a nationwide longitudinal survey between 1998 to 2002 (S1: n = 1392) and 2007 to 2009 ...
    • The cardiac impact of cisplatin-based chemotherapy in survivors of testicular cancer: A 30-year follow-up

      Aims - Cisplatin-based chemotherapy (CBCT) is essential in the treatment of metastatic testicular cancer (TC) but has been associated with long-term risk of cardiovascular morbidity and mortality. Furthermore, cisplatin can be detected in the body decades after treatment. We aimed to evaluate the long-term impact of CBCT on cardiac function and morphology in TC survivors 30 years after treatment.< ...

      <i>Introduction</i>: High-dose therapy with autologous stem cell transplantation (HD-ASCT) is associated with an increased risk of late effects. Our aim was to assess lifestyle behavior and factors associated with unhealthy lifestyle among HD-ASCT-treated lymphoma survivors (HD-ASCT-LS).<p><p> <i>Materials and methods</i>: We conducted a national cross-sectional study of HD-ASCT-LS treated during ...

      Background - The aim was to investigate the distribution of health problems in general practice (GP) among adolescent and young adult (AYA) survivors of lymphoma and to compare problem rates with the general population.<p> <p>Methods - All GP consultations between 2006 and 2020 were identified from the national GP claims register. Diseases and complaints presented 3–10 years after the cancer ...
    • Sexual function in long-term male lymphoma survivors after high-dose therapy with autologous stem-cell transplantation
