4589 Background: Long-term medical complications of platinum have become a major priority in the care of testicular cancer survivors. This study aimed to describe the prevalence of these complications from platinum-based therapy in American testicular cancer survivors. Methods: Testicular cancer survivors with no evidence of disease for at least 2 years were interviewed, had lab tests, and charts reviewed. Demographics, comorbidities, blood pressure, treatment, and outcomes were compared between all treatment modalities. NHANES 2002 and NHIS 2004 were used to obtain national estimates. Results: The mean age was 41 years; 72.7 % had nonseminoma, 96.5% had orchiectomy, 21.0% received radiation (XRT), and 82.5% platinum. The mean follow-up was 8.4 years. There was no statistical difference in the rates of Coronary Artery Disease (CAD), hyperlipidemia, hypertension (HTN), renal insufficiency (RI), or hypomagnesemia (see table ). There was a trend toward an increase in hyperlipidemia at follow-up compared to initial visit in all treatment groups but HTN increased only in those who did not receive platinum. Conclusion: Excluding HTN, we observed a trend toward an increase in the prevalence of RI, hypomagnesemia, hyperlipidemia, and CAD among patients who received platinum when compared to their baseline rates. Similar to a recent study by Huddart et al, we saw a trend toward higher risk of developing CAD in those who received both platinum and XRT. These findings suggest that hyperlipidemia and HTN may be more related to orchiectomy or the germ cell tumor itself than being a complication of platinum. Further prospective cohort studies with a larger group of survivors who have not received platinum are warranted to determine if HTN and hyperlipidemia are true complications of platinum-based chemotherapy.

Abstract Background The successful transition of childhood cancer survivors (CCSs) from pediatric to adult long-term follow-up care is a critical phase, and determining the right time point can be challenging. We assessed the feasibility of the use of existing transition readiness tools in the context of the Swiss health care system, assessed partly transition readiness in Swiss CCSs, and compared our findings with Canadian CCSs for which these tools were originally developed. Methods We officially translated the Cancer Worry Scale (CWS) and Self-Management Skill Scale (SMSS) into German and integrated them into this cross-sectional study. We included CCSs attending the long-term follow-up (LTFU) clinic in the Division of Oncology-Hematology, Department of Pediatrics, Kantonsspital Aarau. We used descriptive statistics to describe transition readiness. Results We randomly recruited 50 CCSs aged ≥18 years at participation. The CCSs had a median CWS score of 62 (interquartile range 55–71), indicating a moderate level of cancer-related worry. Despite high self-management skills, some answers showed a dependency of CCSs on their parents. Our experience shows that the CWS and SMSS are easy for Swiss CCSs to use, understand, and complete. The interpretation of the results must take differences in health care systems between countries into account. Conclusions The translated CWS and SMSS are appropriate additional measures to assess transition readiness in CCSs. These scales can be used longitudinally to find the individual time point for transition and the completion by CCSs enables the health care team to individualize the transition process and to support the CCSs according to their individual needs.
