Increased frequency of chromosomal damage in peripheral blood lymphocytes up to nine years following curative chemotherapy of patients with testicular carcinoma

Abstract excerpt

The presence of micronuclei (MN) in binucleated peripheral blood lymphocytes of 37 testicular carcinoma patients was studied 1.5 to 9.3 years following curative chemotherapy. All patients received cisplatinum, 35 patients also received bleomycin. In addition, most patients were treated with another cytotoxic drug, i.e., vinblastine (n = 23) and/or etoposide (n = 24). The mean time interval between cessation of...
