The treatment of testicular cancer includes unilateral orchiectomy and chemotherapy and is curative for most patients. However, observational studies revealed an association with depression, anxiety and cognitive impairment. It is unclear whether these side effects are caused by chemotherapy, hemicastration or the disease itself. The aim of our study was to analyse the behavioural effects of hemicastration and chemotherapy in adult male mice. The animals were randomly divided into four groups - control, chemotherapy, hemicastration and hemicastration with chemotherapy. After chemotherapy that included three cycles of bleomycin, etoposide, cisplatin mice underwent a battery of behavioural tests. To assess the long-term effects animals were tested also 3 months after the end of treatment. Chemotherapy led to lower locomotor- and exploratory activity, higher anxiety-like behaviour and worse spatial memory immediately after treatment. These behavioural effects were not present three months later. Hemicastration had no effect on most of the observed outcomes. In conclusion, adverse behavioural effects induced by chemotherapy in mice are transient and disappear later in life. Further studies are needed to elucidate the mechanisms responsible for the observed effects.
