The outcome of IVF/ICSI cycles in male cancer patients: retrospective analysis of procedures from 2004 to 2018

Abstract

Fertility preservation is an important aspect of quality of life in oncological patients, and in men is achieved by semen cryopreservation prior to treatment. Results of in vitro fertilization (IVF) procedures in healthy infertile couples are comparable, regardless of whether fresh or cryopreserved semen is used, but are scarce in male oncological patients.
