Description
The current study investigates the frequency and outcome of secondary malignancies in patients treated for testicular cancer between 1970 and 1990. Chemotherapy containing standard-dose etoposide did not increase the risk of occurrence of secondary neoplasms. A significantly elevated relative risk of 7.53 (range , 3.4 to 14.3) was only found for patients treated by radiotherapy. (orig./MG)
Abstract (German)
Wir haben die Haeufigkeit und den Verlauf von Zweitmalignomen bei Patienten mit Hodentumoren untersucht. Das Risiko nach einer Standardpolychemotherapie ist aufgrund der vorliegenden Analyse nicht hoeher und scheint nach Daten anderer Studien eher geringer zu sein als das ermittelte relative Risiko von 2 bis 3 fuer die Induktion solider Zweittumoren nach Strahlentherapie beim Seminom.
