A case of familial testicular malignancy in a father and his son is reported. This represents the seventh described case of father-son testicular cancer. The father had seminoma and the son had teratocarcinoma. Both patients’ peripheral blood lymphocytes were tested for 52 HLA specificities: the father's antigens were HLA A3, B13, B14, Cw6, Cw8 and the son's were HLA A2, A3, B14, Cw8. (Common haplotype: A3, B14, Cw8). The association between HLA antigens and testicular cancer is discussed.

In the present study, we evaluated the induced genome damage in peripheral blood lymphocytes from a sample of nurses occupationally exposed to low doses of different chemicals. A comprehensive multi-biomarker approach using cytogenetic endpoints was employed for analyzing chromosomal aberrations (CAs) and sister chromatid exchange (SCE) assay. The study included 20 nurses and 20 control subjects matched in age, gender and smoking habits. Nurses were exposed to different chemicals, such as cytostatic drugs, anaesthetics, formaldehyde and other sterilizing gases. Significant differences were found between exposure group and control group in terms of SCEs frequency ( p < 0.001) but not in terms of replication index value ( p = 0.845) and CAs ( p = 0.236). Regression analyses indicated that the age and the exposure years did not influence the amount of the chromosomal damage among nurses. Vice versa, among controls, a positive correlation was found between the number of SCEs and age. In conclusion, our results suggest that a continuous long-term exposure to low doses of chemicals could result in increased levels of SCEs among nurses. This data emphasize the importance of biomonitoring nurses and other hospital workers handling drugs.
