Testicular cancer is the most frequent tumor in young males aged 15-39 years. As cure rates are currently around 90%, the prevalence of survivors is increasing. However, a disease-free condition does not necessarily correspond to a life free of physical and psychosocial health problems. The aim of this review was to explore psychosocial morbidity among testicular cancer survivors. A literature search was conducted in three electronic databases (PubMed, Medline, and Embase). The results of the search on cancer survivors were then combined with those of the search on psychosocial concerns and work performance. Eighty-four publications met the inclusion criteria. Physical, psychological, work-related problems and changing perspectives about work and life in general influenced life and career decisions among testicular cancer survivors. Individual health, sexual relationships and work problems, affect several important aspects of survival and significantly influence the QoL of long-term survivors.
睾丸癌是15至39岁年轻男性中最常见的肿瘤。由于目前治愈率约为90%,幸存者的数量正在增加。然而,无病状态并不一定意味着生活中没有身体和心理社会健康问题。本综述的目的是探讨睾丸癌幸存者的心理社会发病率。在三个电子数据库(PubMed、Medline和Embase)中进行了文献检索。然后将癌症幸存者的检索结果与心理社会问题和工作表现的检索结果相结合。84篇出版物符合纳入标准。身体、心理、与工作相关的问题以及对工作和生活总体看法的改变影响了睾丸癌幸存者的生活和职业决策。个人健康、性关系和工作问题影响生存的几个重要方面,并显著影响长期幸存者的生活质量。
