The present analysis deals with 2 main problems among therapy-associated late toxicities in patients after curative treatment for malignant tumors, such as Hodgkin's disease and testicular cancer: gonadal late toxicities in young patients after treatment for lymphomas and the risk of secondary neoplasia after curative treatment for malignant male germ cell tumors. ⋯ The investigation of therapy-associated late toxicities will remain an important issue even with the use of new treatment approaches such as high-dose therapy. Prospective evaluation of late toxicities needs to be incorporated into new studies for the curative treatment of malignant tumors.
