Does cisplatin-based chemotherapy induce acute cardiovascular changes (von Willebrand factor levels and carotid intima-media thickness) in patients with testicular cancer?
Cisplatin-based chemotherapy induces acute vascular changes in testicular cancer patients, which may have long-term prognostic significance for cardiovascular complications.
In testicular cancer patients treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy, we found an increase in plasma von Willebrand factor levels and in the intima-media thickness of the carotid artery. These changes may indicate chemotherapy-induced vascular damage and be of prognostic significance for the development of cardiovascular complications in the long term.
