Sequelae of Treatment in Survivors of Testicular Cancer Creation of a Non-exposed Comparison Group for the Platinum Study

The patients enrolled on this new study will serve as an appropriate comparison group
consisting of patients with the diagnosis of germ cell testicular cancer who were cured with
surgical resection and did not receive cisplatin-based chemotherapy with a group of patients
from another study who did receive cisplatin-based chemotherapy.

Primary Objective

To compare the prevalence of ototoxicity and neurotoxicity in GCT cancer survivors who only
had surgery to a similar population from The Platinum Study (RSRB45410/1305011509) who
received cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy.

Secondary Objective

To compare the prevalence of obesity, hypertension, and use of antidepressants/anxiolytics in
GCT cancer survivors who only had surgery to a similar population from The Platinum Study who
received cisplatin-based combination chemotherapy.

Inclusion Criteria:

- Diagnosis or confirmation of diagnosis of a histologically or serologically confirmed
testicular germ cell tumor (GCT) or GCT at another anatomic location

- Age at GCT diagnosis: 55 years of age or younger

- Males, 18 years of age or older at time of study consent

- Subject is able to provide consent

- Subject is able to speak and read English

- Treatment consisted of surgery only (i.e., orchiectomy and/or retroperitoneal lymph
node dissection [RPLND]) for either initial testicular germ cell tumor (GCT) or
subsequent testicular cancer

- Subject completed surgery > 1 year ago

- Subject is currently undergoing active follow-up at IU

- Subject did not require any subsequent chemotherapy, salvage chemotherapy treatment or
