Testicular cancer treatment can cause long-term neurological, circulatory problems

For men with testicular cancer, survival comes at a price: New research at the University of Oslo in Norway suggests that those who recover from the disease face higher risks of long-term illness unrelated to tumors.

The study, that will be published in the November issue of the journal BJUI, found that one in four survivors will develop long-term neurological, hearing and circulatory problems. They are also nearly twice as likely to develop another form of cancer. 

The study authors noted and good news, too. As many as four out of five survivors who try to become fathers are successful.
