Los avances de métodos para detectar y tratar el cáncer pulmonar han mejorado esta situación, pero todavía falta mucho por hacer.

In a study published June 6, 2024, in JAMA Oncology, researchers looked at 100 people who had been treated with cisplatin for testicular cancer, with a median age of 48. None had profound hearing loss at the start of the trial.
