Effect of malignant disease on semen parameters

Although the harmful effect of testicular cancer and Hodgkin lymphoma on semen quality is well documented, the results regarding the impact of other cancer types on semen parameters and the effect of the presence of malignant disease in general are inconclusive. Here we compared semen characteristics in cryopreserved semen samples of various pathologies to samples taken from men who attended the same reproductive center, whose semen parameters are above the reference limit, and to semen parameters from the WHO 2020 fertile men cohort.
