Heart Health in Testicular Cancer Survivors
Part of Cancer, Heart & circulation, Hormones & metabolism, Kidney & urinary clinical trials.
This study looks at heart health in men who have survived testicular cancer. It compares those who had different treatments (surgery, chemotherapy, or chemotherapy plus a stem cell transplant) to see if there are hidden signs of heart or blood vessel problems.
Summary written for real people, not researchers, by Clin2.
Who can take part
- You are 18 years old or older.
- You have been diagnosed with testicular cancer and are now cancer-free.
- You either had surgery or surveillance only, OR you received a specific type of chemotherapy (CBCT), OR you received that chemotherapy plus a stem cell transplant.
- You have not had a heart attack or heart artery disease.
- You do not have significant kidney disease (GFR less than 40) or an allergy to contrast dye used in scans.
- You have not had chemotherapy for any other type of cancer before.

This trial tests whether a “risk-guided” care plan can help prevent coronary artery disease (the buildup that can lead to heart attacks) in people who had cancer treatment that can affect the heart. You may get closer heart risk monitoring and guidance to reduce risk factors, such as cholesterol—especially if you can safely take statins.
This study looks at how people should be followed after treatment for testicular cancer (surgery and, for some, chemotherapy). It may help improve follow-up plans while keeping an eye out for cancer coming back.
This feasibility study looks at how to support decision-making about preventing heart problems in adults after a cancer diagnosis. It may help by making it easier to assess cardiovascular risk and start appropriate heart-protection planning earlier.
This study looks at how a special CT heart scan (CCTA) can help manage heart disease risk in men with prostate cancer who are taking hormone therapy (ADT). It may help your care team better assess heart risk, especially if you also have other heart risk factors but no current heart symptoms.
This study looks at how cancer treatments affect the heart and blood vessels in adults who survived childhood cancer. Researchers will use imaging tests to find early signs of heart problems so they can help prevent serious complications like heart attacks or strokes.
This study checks heart health in adult survivors of childhood cancer who had certain heart-related treatments years ago. If you haven't had a heart ultrasound in the last 5 years, you may be able to help researchers learn how to better monitor heart health.
