- Abstract:
- PURPOSE: Visual impairment represents an infrequent form of cisplatin-induced neurotoxicity; however, visual deterioration has been reported in several studies. To evaluate potential morphological and functional retinal alterations in patients with germ cell cancer (GCC) treated with cisplatin-based chemotherapy (CBC). METHODS: Multi-disciplinary and multi-institutional study design. Examination of 28 eyes of 14 male GCC patients, who had received at least one cycle of CBC. A matched control group of healthy, untreated patients were included in this study. Subjects underwent a retinal nerve fiber thickness (RNFL) measurement, color vision, visual acuity testing, full-field electroretinograms (ff-ERG). To assess a correlation between cumulative cisplatin dose and measured RNFL and ff-ERG Pearson correlation coefficient analysis was performed. RESULTS: Both study groups (CBC recipients vs. healthy controls) consisted each of 14 participants with a median patient age of 30 years (interquartile range (IQR) 26-37 years). Tumor histology was seminoma in 6 of 14 patients (43%), and non-seminomatous GCC in 8 of 14 patients (57%). Median cumulative cisplatin dosis at examination was 627 mg/m2 (IQR 413-1013 mg/m2). Morphological assessment revealed reduced RNFL in 11 of 14 patients (78.6%). Reduction in RNFL was significantly correlated to the cumulative CBC dose received (rho = + 0.70; p = 0.004). ff-ERG showed significant differences between CBC recipients and the control group in 2 of 5 tested categories (all p values <0.001). CONCLUSION: This study represents first evidence of chronic subclinical retinal toxicity due to cisplatin-based chemotherapy in patients with GCC. The reduction of RNFL might become clinically relevant in upcoming age-related chronic degenerative disorders such as glaucoma.
