Infertility: Cancer and male infertility
Abstract
Male cancer and infertility are linked in three different ways. First, in certain malignancies, such as Hodgkin's disease, testicular and endocrine cancers, infertility may precede the diagnosis of cancer. The cause of infertility in these cases is not always obvious, although endocrine and immune aetiologies are responsible in some of them. Therefore, during evaluation of an infertile male, the possibility of cancer should be borne in mind. Second, cryptorchidism causes, in a parallel course, infertility and cancer. Third, improved survival of childhood and adolescent cancer is the trend of modern medicine. However, infertility is an important major sequela of treatments. The roles of chemotherapy, radiotherapy and surgery on fertility potential are stressed and possible treatment modalities in such cases are discussed.

About these checks
Registry, retraction, Cites and statistics results are computed, not judged, with one exception: a printed reference that no index lists is read once by a model before it counts as a citation error. Claims are extracted by a model and kept only when their quote appears verbatim in the text; each cited source is then checked, with a model’s help, for whether it says what the claim relies on. Those verdicts can be wrong — read the claim’s quote and the cited source before relying on one.
Statistics and arithmetic are recomputed, not judged.
Confidence bands are shown only for fields calibrated on our annotated test set. None is calibrated yet, so no band is shown.
