Erman Akkus: Our study on Testicular Germ Cell Tumor Survivors

Erman Akkus, Medical Oncology Fellow at Ankara University, shared a post on X about a paper he co-authored with colleagues published in Future Oncology:

“Our study on Testicular Germ Cell Tumor Survivors has been published!

We define, for the first time as far as we know, Hepatic Steatosis (Fatty Liver) as a long-term complication among TGCT survivors!

  • 57% develop hepatic steatosis
  • The prevelance in same-age healthy Turkish youngs is around 20-25%!
  • 77% of those had persistant steatosis
  • Baseline BMI, high risk.”
