Mental Health of Men Before and After Testicular Cancer Treatment
Mental Health of Men Before and After Testicular Cancer Treatment. Danish: "Mænds Mentale Sundhed før og Efter Behandling af testikulær kræft"
This is a prospective observational study, that investigates men diagnosed with testicular cancer before and after treatment.
The patients are included at their visit at the Fertility clinic in Horsens, where they deposit semen for cryopreservation prior to surgery and potential systemic treatment.

Primary Outcome Measures
Outcome Measure |
Measure Description |
Time Frame |
---|---|---|
Cognitive Performance, CANTAB iPad based cognitive performance test.
Time Frame: 9 months. The patients complete the cognitive test at baseline (T1) and again after 9 months (T2).
|
The cognitive test is performed on an iPad using the validated Cambridge Neuropsychological Test Automated Battery (CANTAB) Connect Research software.
The cognitive domains assessed are sensorimotor function and comprehension, processing and psychomotor speed, sustained attention, visual episodic memory, working memory and strategy, visual working memory and planning, each at T1 and T2.
Comparison of test results from T1 and T2 will assess if there is a change in the cognitive performance.

|
Change in symptoms of Depression and Anxiety
Time Frame: 9 months. The patients complete the questionnaire at baseline (T1) and again after 9 months (T2).
|
Assessed by the Hospital Anxiety and Depression Scale (HADS).
The HADS is a 14-item scale with 2 subscales measuring severity of anxiety (HADS-A) and depression (HADS-D) symptoms.
Each subscale has 7 items and each item is scored from 0-3.
Thus, the total score for each subscale range from 0-21, with 0 indicating no symptoms and 21 severe symptoms.
|
9 months. The patients complete the questionnaire at baseline (T1) and again after 9 months (T2).
|
Change in Fatigue
Time Frame: 9 months. The patients complete the questionnaire at baseline (T1) and again after 9 months (T2).
|
Assessed by the FACIT_Fatigue Questionnaire.
The questionnaire consists of 13-items each scored from 0-4.
The scores are summarized, and the total score range from 0-52 with higher score denoting less fatigue.
|
9 months. The patients complete the questionnaire at baseline (T1) and again after 9 months (T2).
|
Change in Sleep Quality
Time Frame: 9 months. The patients complete the questionnaire at baseline (T1) and again after 9 months (T2).

Change in Quality of Life
Time Frame: 9 months. The patients complete the questionnaire at baseline (T1) and again after 9 months (T2).
|

The subscale has 2 questions each scored from 1-5.
Thus, the total score for this subscale range from 2-10 with higher scores denoting higher quality of life.
|
9 months. The patients complete the questionnaire at baseline (T1) and again after 9 months (T2).
|
Change in Well being
Time Frame: 9 months. The patients complete the questionnaire at baseline (T1) and again after 9 months (T2).
|
The wellbeing is assessed by the WHO (Five) Well-being scale (WHO-5), that has 5 questions each scored from 0-5.
The raw score ranges from 0-25 and is multiplied by 4 to give the final score that ranges from 0-100, with higher scores denoting higher wellbeing.
|
9 months. The patients complete the questionnaire at baseline (T1) and again after 9 months (T2).
