- Abstract
Most patients with testis cancer are cured with treatment. However, the incidence of osteoporosis after prolonged follow-up is unknown. This study investigates the incidence of osteoporosis in 39 testis cancer patients with follow-up from 5 to 28 years. There was no increased incidence of osteoporosis. These initial data are reassuring but require further investigation.
