Should we offer semen cryopreservation to men with testicular cancer?
Semen cryopreservation has become particularly important in recent years for several reasons. Long.-term survival rates have increased: more than 90% of patients with testicular cancer now survive longer than 5 years,1 making treatment-related complications such as infertility more of an issue. Assisted reproductive techniques have also improved, and cryopreserved semen from men with cancer can...
متن کاملScreening for carcinoma in situ of the contralateral testis in patients with germinal testicular cancer.
Two hundred and fifty biopsy specimens from the contralateral testis in patients with unilateral germinal testicular cancer were analysed by light microscopy for carcinoma-in-situ changes. Changes were found in 13 (5.2%) patients. One-third of patients with an atrophic contralateral testis (volume less than or equal to 12 ml) and one-fifth of patients with a history of cryptorchidism had change...
متن کاملTesticular cancer and HPV semen infection
Testicular cancer represents the more frequent solid tumor affecting males aged 15-35 years. In the last decades, its incidence showed a progressive increased probably due to genetic and environmental factors. Despite exposure to some viruses such as HIV, HCV, EBV, and HPV is frequently related to cancer development, there are no studies aimed to evaluate the possible implication of viral infec...
متن کاملComparison of Tissue Stiffness Using Shear Wave Elastography in Men with Normal Testicular Tissue, Testicular Microlithiasis and Testicular Cancer
Objectives To compare elastography measurements in men with normal testicular tissue, testicular microlithiasis and testicular cancer. Methods A total of 248 consecutive patients were included. All men provided written informed consent. Testicular stiffness was assessed using shear wave elastography (SWE). Three SWE velocity measurements were assessed in each testicle. The patients were divid...
متن کاملO-10: PLAP Marker in Testicular Biopsy ofIranian Men by Immunohistochemistry Methodfor Early Diagnosis of Testicular Carcinomain Situ
Background: Testicular Carcinoma in situ (CIS), also known as intratubular germ cell neoplasia (ITGCN), is a pre-invasive precursor of testicular germ cell tumours (TCGTs), i.e seminomas and non-seminomas -the commonest cancer type of male adolescents and young adults- which can be diagnosed using a surgical biopsy. Infertility is one of the condition known to predispose to TGCT, but based on s...
