Papers・Description | Purpose:Sperm cryopreservation is the gold standard for maintaining fertility in male survivors of cancer. In order to help increase the future success of fertility preservation in these patients, the present state of sperm cryopreservation was examined at the current institution and its challenges were discussed.Methods:Between January, 2004 and February, 2017, 31 male patients with cancer were introduced to the center for fertility preservation. The ages and semen characteristics of these patients were examined and compared between those whose sperm were cryopreserved before (the pretreatment group) and after (the post-treatment group) cancer treatment.Results:The mean sperm concentration of the pretreatment group was significantly higher than that of the post-treatment group. |
