We describe the presence of a large number of chromosome aberrations in lymphocytes of 50 patients with testicular cancer. These chromosomal aberrations were not only found in patients treated with chemotherapy but also in untreated patients or in patients after surgery alone. Our results suggest a role for genetic instability in the pathogenesis of testicular cancer. This instability might be a risk factor for the development of secondary malignancies.

D008214 Lymphocytes White blood cells formed in the body's lymphoid tissue. The nucleus is round or ovoid with coarse, irregularly clumped chromatin while the cytoplasm is typically pale blue with azurophilic (if any) granules.
