Plain-language summary
This study is an observational cross-sectional study which aims to investigate the relationship between treatment with chemotherapy and the development of low levels of testosterone in the blood in patients cured for aggressive lymphoma. We hypothesize that patients in turn will develop sexual dysfunction and poor quality of life because of this reduced level of testosterone. Cancer treatment is increasingly effective and the overall survival higher, which makes issues like sexuality and long-term quality of life more and more important to address in cured cancer patients. Patient sexuality and quality of life is measured by 3 questionnaires filled out once, and serum testosterone by a single blood sample. If serum testosterone is in the lower part of the normal reference interval, patients will be offered further hormonal evaluation by department of growth and reproduction at Copenhagen University Hospital. We hope to show that future follow up visits should include focus on sexuality and serum testosterone. Questionnaires and blood samples can be implemented easily and without great cost.
