Abstract
Effective multi-agent chemotherapy means that most patients with testicular cancer are now cured and have a long potential life expectancy. Long term toxicity is therefore an important consideration. Some groups have reported an increased risk of cardiovascular disease in testicular cancer survivors. We have investigated whether such a risk exists by undertaking a cross sectional study of cardiovascular morbidity and risk factors in patients treated at our institution between 1982 and 1992.
