About this study

Cisplatin-combination chemotherapy causes inevitably DNA damage by platinum-DNA adduct formation of both tumor cells but also healthy cells. It therefore stands to reason that testicular cancer treatment causes an increased burden of senescent cells, which causes upregulation of the SASP resulting in a pro-inflammatory phenotype. The investigators hypothesize that this may be an important mechanism behind development of late effects and an early ageing phenotype after treatment for testicular cancer.
