Abstract: Longitudinal neuropsychological assessments were performed to determine if adjuvant chemotherapy was associated with cognitive dysfunction in men with non-seminomatous germ cell tumors (NSGCT).
Methods: Patients with NSGCT status post-orchiectomy that either received adjuvant chemotherapy (n = 55) or did not (n = 14) were recruited. Patients were tested before chemotherapy, 1 week post- chemotherapy (or 3 months later in the surveillance group) and 12 months after the baseline evaluation.

The objective of this systematic review is to identify and summarize studies, exploring ongoing physical and/or psychosocial problems related to function- ing of employees with a history of cancer, beyond their return to work.
