    Abstract: Patients with testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT) are at increased risk of developing a contralateral TGCT (CTGCT). Although some studies suggest that prior treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy affects CTGCT risk, a relationship between CTGCT risk and platinum dose has not previously been assessed. We analyzed the association between the number of platinum-based chemotherapy cycles and CTGCT risk. PATIENTS AND METHODS The risk of developing a metachronous CTGCT was evaluated in a nationwide cohort of 4,755 patients diagnosed with primary TGCT in the Netherlands between 1989 and 2007. Standardized incidence ratios were computed to compare CTGCT incidence with expected TGCT on the basis of TGCT incidence in the general population. The cumulative incidence of CTGCT was estimated in the presence of death as competing risk. The effect of treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy on CTGCT risk was assessed using multivariable Cox proportional hazards regression models. RESULTS CTGCT was diagnosed in 136 patients (standardized incidence ratio, 14.6; 95% CI, 12.2 to 17.2). The cumulative incidence increased up to 20 years after primary diagnosis, reaching 3.4% (95% CI, 2.8% to 4.0%) after 20 years of follow up. The risk of developing a CTGCT decreased with age (hazard ratio [HR], 0.93; 95% CI, 0.90 to 0.96), was lower after nonseminomatous germ cell tumor (HR, 0.58; 95% CI, 0.35 to 0.96) and decreased with every additional cycle of chemotherapy (HR per cycle , 0.74; 95% CI, 0.64 to 0.85). CONCLUSION Approximately one in every 30 survivors of TGCT will develop a CTGCT, with CTGCT incidence increasing up to 20 years after a primary TGCT. Treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy shows a dose-dependent inverse association with CTGCT risk.

    Abstract: 419 Background: Patients with testicular germ cell tumor (TGCT) are at increased risk of developing a metachronous contralateral testicular tumor (CLTT). It is unclear whether the histology of the primary tumor and treatment with platinum-based chemotherapy are associated with the risk of CLTT. The primary aim of this study was to analyze the association between number of chemotherapy cycles and risk of CLTT. Methods: We evaluated the incidence of metachronous CLTT (≥2 months after diagnosis of primary TGCT) in a nationwide cohort consisting of patients diagnosed with TGCT between 1989 and 2007. Standardized incidence ratios (SIRs) were computed to compare CLTT incidence with TGCT in the general population and the cumulative incidence of CLTT was estimated. We analyzed the association between treatment with chemotherapy and risk of CLTT in a multivariate Cox-model. Results: The entire cohort consisted of 4,755 patients (seminoma: n=2,612; 54.9%, nonseminomatous germ cell tumor [NSGCT]: n=2,143; 45.1%). The median age at diagnosis was 33 years (IQR 26-40). A total of 1,047 patients (22.0%) were treated with platinum-based chemotherapy for their primary TGCT (seminoma: n=189, NSGCT: n=858). Median follow-up was 17.0 years (IQR 12.7-22.0). A CLTT was diagnosed in 136 patients. The median interval to CLTT diagnosis was 6.1 years (range 0.8-19.7). The overall 20-year cumulative incidence was 3.4% (95% CI 2.8-4.0) and was higher after seminoma (4.0%; 95% CI 3.3-4.9), compared to NSGCT (2.6%; 95% CI 1.9-3.4). The SIRs were for seminoma: 22.1 (95% CI 17.8-27.1), for NSGCT: 8.6 (95% CI 6.3-11.6) and for the entire cohort: 14.6 (95% CI 12.2-17.2). In multivariate analysis, the risk of developing a CLTT decreased with age (HR 0.93; 95% CI 0.90-0.96), was lower after NSGCT (HR 0.58; 95% CI 0.35-0.96), and decreased with every additional cycle of chemotherapy (HR 0.74; 0.64-0.85). This corresponds to a 26% lower risk of CLTT per extra chemotherapy cycle. Conclusions: TGCT patients have an almost 15 times higher risk of developing a CLTT, compared to the general population. The risk is 2 times higher after a seminoma, compared to NSGCT, and decreases with every additional cycle of chemotherapy. Especially in high risk patients, lifelong self-examination is advised.

    Abstract: 12070 Background: Testicular cancer (TC) treatment has been associated with cardiovascular disease (CVD) development. To facilitate development of preventive strategies, this study assessed risk factors associated with CVD in TC survivors. Methods: Incidence of coronary artery disease, myocardial infarction and heart failure was assessed in a multicenter cohort comprising 4,748 TC survivors treated at ages of 12-50 years between 1976-2007. Patients who developed CVD and a random sample from the cohort received a questionnaire on cardiovascular risk factors (CVRF) and quality of life (QoL, measured with SF-36). A subgroup (n=304) of responders in the cohort additionally underwent clinical evaluation of CVRF. Results: After a median follow-up of 16 years, 272 patients developed CVD. Compared to orchidectomy only, platinum-based chemotherapy was associated with increased CVD risk (Hazard Ratio (HR) 1.8, 95% Confidence Interval(CI) 1.3-2.5). CVD risk was increased among patients who were obese or a smoker at diagnosis (HR 4.7, 95%CI 2.4-9.3 and HR 1.5, 95%CI 1.1-2.2, respectively) and patients with Raynaud's phenomenon (HR 1.9, 95%CI 1.1-3.6) or a family history of CVD (HR 2.7, 95%CI 1.6-4.5). TC survivors with CVD reported inferior QoL on physical domains (table). In TC survivors who underwent clinical evaluation for CVRF (median age at assessment 51 years), 86% had dyslipidemia, 50% hypertension and 35% metabolic syndrome, irrespective of treatment. Conclusions: TC survivors treated with platinum-based chemotherapy, who were obese or smoking at diagnosis, had family history of CVD and who developed Raynaud’s phenomenon are at risk to develop CVD, which affects QoL. Many TC survivors carry undetected CVRF. We advocate early lifestyle adjustments and lifelong follow-up with low-threshold treatment of CVRF, especially in obese and smoking patients treated with platinum-based chemotherapy.
