Treatment-specific risks of second malignancies and cardiovascular disease in 5-year survivors of testicular cancer.

Purpose: To compare radiotherapy and chemotherapy effects on long-term risks of second malignant neoplasms (SMNs) and cardiovascular diseases (CVDs) in testicular cancer (TC) survivors.

Patients And Methods: In our nationwide cohort comprising 2,707 5-year TC survivors, incidences of SMNs and CVDs were compared with general-population rates by calculating standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) and absolute excess risks (AERs). Treatment effects on risks of SMN and CVD were quantified in multivariable Cox regression and competing risks analyses.

Treatment-related risk factors for premature menopause following Hodgkin lymphoma.

We conducted a cohort-study among 518 female 5-year Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) survivors, aged 14 to 40 years (median: 25 years) at treatment (1965-1995). Multivariable Cox regression was used to quantify treatment effects on risk of premature menopause, defined as cessation of menses before age 40 years. After a median follow up of 9.

Late cardiotoxicity after treatment for Hodgkin lymphoma.

We assessed cardiovascular disease (CVD) incidence in 1474 survivors of Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) younger than 41 years at treatment (1965-1995). Multivariable Cox regression and competing risk analyses were used to quantify treatment effects on CVD risk. After a median follow-up of 18.
