Twenty-year oncology sperm banking experience at a Canadian academic fertility centre: a retrospective study examining the usage and reproductive outcomes from oncology patients. BMJ Open 2024; 14:e088112.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Many cancer treatments pose a threat to fertility for patients. Semen cryopreservation before cancer treatment is an effective method to preserve fertility. There are sparse long-term data on the usage of samples from Canadian oncology sperm banks. METHODS A retrospective chart review of all oncology sperm banking samples at a Canadian academic fertility centre from 2001 to 2020 was conducted. RESULTS From 2001 to 2020, 4521 samples were banked by 2504 patients. The most frequent diagnoses among these patients were testicular cancer (29.5%) and lymphoma (26.9%). Of these patients, only 81 (3.2%) patients returned to use their samples with intrauterine insemination (IUI) or in vitro fertilisation (IVF) treatment and 62 (2.5%) patients transferred their samples to another clinic. The time between banking and return for usage of the sperm ranged from 1 to 131 months with a median of 18 months after banking. A total of 66 IVF cycles (104 embryo transfers) and 101 IUI cycles from 67 patients were reviewed. Of the 67 couples who used their samples, 53.7% achieved a clinical pregnancy. The clinical pregnancy rate was 6.6% per cycle for IUI and 30.8% per embryo transfer for IVF. Higher sperm concentration or total motile count was not associated with a higher chance of pregnancy. Patients who conceived had on average 1.9 ± 0.8 (p=0.02) more usable embryos per cycle than those who did not conceive. CONCLUSIONS Sperm cryopreservation provides a valuable option for patients with cancer to achieve parenthood after potentially gonadotoxic cancer treatment. However, the overall usage of banked oncology sperm samples is very low.

Abstract
The management of young patients with cancer presents several unique challenges. In general, these patients are ill prepared for the diagnosis and the impact on their fertility. With the improved survival for all tumour types and stages, the need for adequate fertility counselling and a multidisciplinary approach in the reproductive care of these patients is paramount. Recent advances in cryopreservation techniques allow for the banking of spermatozoa, oocytes, embryos and ovarian tissue without compromising survival. This Canadian Fertility and Andrology Society (CFAS) guideline outlines the current understanding of social and medical issues associated with oncofertility, and the medical and surgical technologies available to optimize future fertility.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION Does sperm DNA recover from damage in all men after 2 years from the end of cytotoxic treatments? SUMMARY ANSWER The current indication of 2 years waiting time for seeking natural pregnancy after cytotoxic treatment may not be adequate for all men, since severe sperm DNA damage is present in a proportion of subjects even after this timeframe. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Data in the literature on sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) in lymphoma patients after cytotoxic treatments are scarce. The largest longitudinal study evaluated paired pre- and post-therapy (up to 24 months) semen samples from 34 patients while one study performed a longer follow-up (36 months) in 10 patients. The median/mean SDF values >24 months after therapy did not show significant differences but the studies did not explore the proportion of patients with severe DNA damage and the analysis was done on frozen-thawed samples. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION In this study, 53 Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and 25 non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) post-pubertal patients were included over a recruitment period of 10 years (2012-2022). Among them, 18 subjects provided paired semen samples for SDF analysis at the three time points. SDF was evaluated in patients before (T0) and after 2 (T2) and 3 years (T3) from the end of, cytotoxic treatments (chemotherapy alone or in combination with radiotherapy). A cohort of 79 healthy, fertile, and normozoospermic men >18 years old served as controls (recruited between 2016 and 2019). PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS SDF was evaluated on fresh semen samples (i.e. spermatozoa potentially involved in natural conception) from patients and controls using TUNEL (terminal deoxynucleotidyl transferase dUTP nick end labeling) assay coupled with flow cytometry. SDF median values were compared between groups: (i) HL and NHL patients versus controls at the three time points; (ii) HL versus NHL patients at baseline; and (iii) patients at T0 versus T2 and T3. Severe DNA damage (SDD) was defined for SDF levels above the 95th percentile of controls (50%) and the proportion of patients with SDD at all time points was established. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE At T0, patients displayed higher median SDF than controls, reaching statistical significance in the NHL group: 40.5% [IQR: 31.3-52.6%] versus 28% [IQR: 22-38%], P < 0.05. Comparing SDF pre-treatment to that post-treatment, HL patients exhibited similar median values at the three time points, whereas NHL showed significantly lower values at T3 compared to T0: 29.2% [IQR: 22-38%] versus 40.5% [IQR: 31.3-52.6%], P < 0.05. The proportion with SDD in the entire cohort at T2 was 11.6% and 13.3% among HL and NHL patients, respectively. At T3, only one in 16 NHL patients presented SDD. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION TUNEL assay requires at least 5 million spermatozoa to be performed; hence, severe oligozoospermic men were not included in the study. Although our cohort represents the largest one in the literature, the relatively small number of patients does not allow us to establish precisely the frequency of SDD at T2 which in our study reached 11-13% of patients. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS Our data provide further insights into the long-term effects of cytotoxic treatments on the sperm genome. The persistent severe DNA damage after 2 years post-treatment observed in some patients suggests that there is an interindividual variation in restoring DNA integrity. We propose the use of SDF as a biomarker to monitor the treatment-induced genotoxic effects on sperm DNA in order to better personalize pre-conceptional counseling on whether to use fresh or cryopreserved spermatozoa.

Abstract
RESEARCH QUESTION What are current practices of post-treatment fertility preservation in male childhood cancer survivors (CCS) who have not benefitted from pre-therapeutic fertility preservation in France and other European countries? DESIGN A survey was conducted of all fertility preservation centres in France (n = 30) and European fertility specialists (n = 9) in five European countries. Eight clinical cases and 40 questions were included to assess the effect of age at diagnosis, type of treatment (alkylating-agents, orchidectomy, testicular radiotherapy) and sperm parameters on the probability of a post-treatment fertility preservation proposal. Demographic characteristics of the responding practitioner were also collected. RESULTS Post-treatment sperm cryopreservation was proposed by 100% of fertility specialists in cases of severe oligoasthenoteratozoospermia, 77-88% in cases of moderate oligoasthenoteratozoospermia and in 65-77% in cases of sperm motility and vitality impairment. In cases of normal sperm parameters, 27-54% of fertility specialists would propose post-treatment sperm cryopreservation. These results did not differ significantly according to the type of treatment received or to responder-related factors. Practices of European specialists were also guided by sperm parameter results; 44-67% of specialists responding that they would propose sperm cryopreservation in cases of moderate to severe sperm parameter alterations. CONCLUSION Post-treatment semen analysis could be widely proposed to CCS who have not benefitted from pre-therapeutic fertility preservation. Post-treatment fertility preservation could be proposed in cases of persistent moderate to severe sperm parameter alterations. Guidelines would be important to homogenize practices and to encourage oncologists to refer CCS for fertility assessments.

Abstract
BACKGROUND In 15-49 years-old men, the main cancers are testicular cancer (TC) and lymphomas (L): freezing of ejaculated sperm is primarily used for male fertility preservation (FP) before cancer treatment. Our objective was to analyze the French FP rate in 15-49 years-old men diagnosed with TC or L in 2018. We designed a national descriptive cross-sectional study of sperm banking rate in men with a diagnosis of TC, Hodgkin L (HL) or non-Hodgkin L (NHL). From the French National Cancer Institute (INCa) 2018 data, we extracted the estimated incidence of TC and L in metropolitan France. From the 2018 activity report of CECOS network (Centers for Study and Banking of Eggs and Sperm), we extracted the number of men with TC or L who banked ejaculated sperm. We estimated the proportion of 15-49 years-old men diagnosed with TC or L who banked sperm. RESULTS Among 15-49 years-old men, INCa estimated 38,048 new cancer diagnoses in metropolitan France in 2018: 2,630 TC and 3,913 L (943 HL and 2,970 NHL). The CECOS network provided data from 26/27 metropolitan centers (96% response rate): 1,079 sperm banking for men with TC, 375 for HL and 211 for NHL. We estimated that the 2018 sperm banking rate in France was 41% for TC, 40% for HL, and 7% for NHL. CONCLUSIONS To our knowledge, our paper is the first cross-sectional study with multicenter and national data analyzing FP rate in cancer men: it suggests an efficient pathway for men to FP before cancer treatment, compared to previously published studies. Although sperm banking rate in 15-49 years-old men could definitely be improved, further studies should evaluate the information given to patients before gonadotoxic treatments, the factors associated with the absence of sperm banking and whether this lack of referral induces a loss of chance for these men.

Reproduction patterns among non-Hodgkin lymphoma survivors by subtype in Sweden, Denmark and Norway: A population-based matched cohort study. Br J Haematol 2023; 202:785-795.

Abstract
Previous studies concerning reproductive patterns among non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL) survivors are scarce and those available have reported conflicting results. Treatment regimens vary considerably between aggressive and indolent NHL and studies of reproductive patterns by subtypes are warranted. In this matched cohort study, we identified all NHL patients aged 18-40 years and diagnosed between 2000 and 2018 from the Swedish and Danish lymphoma registers, and the clinical database at Oslo University Hospital (n = 2090). Population comparators were matched on sex, birth year and country (n = 19 427). Hazard ratios (HRs) were estimated using Cox regression. Males and females diagnosed with aggressive lymphoma subtypes had lower childbirth rates (HRfemale : 0.43, 95% CI: 0.31-0.59, HRmale : 0.61, 95% CI: 0.47-0.78) than comparators during the first 3 years after diagnosis. For indolent lymphomas, childbirth rates were not significantly different from comparators (HRfemale : 0.71, 95% CI: 0.48-1.04, HRmale : 0.94, 95% CI: 0.70-1.27) during the same period. Childbirth rates reached those of comparators for all subtypes after 3 years but the cumulative incidence of childbirths was decreased throughout the 10-year follow-up for aggressive NHL. Children of NHL patients were more likely to be born following assisted reproductive technology than those of comparators, except for male indolent lymphoma patients. In conclusion, fertility counselling is particularly important for patients with aggressive NHL.

Abstract
AIM To provide practice guidelines about fertility preservation (FP) in oncology. METHODS We selected 400 articles after a PubMed review of the literature (1987-2019). RECOMMENDATIONS Any child, adolescent and adult of reproductive age should be informed about the risk of treatment gonadotoxicity. In women, systematically proposed FP counselling between 15 and 38 years of age in case of treatment including bifunctional alkylating agents, above 6 g/m2 cyclophosphamide equivalent dose (CED), and for radiation doses on the ovaries ≥3 Gy. For postmenarchal patients, oocyte cryopreservation after ovarian stimulation is the first-line FP technique. Ovarian tissue cryopreservation should be discussed as a first-line approach in case of treatment with a high gonadotoxic risk, when chemotherapy has already started and in urgent cases. Ovarian transposition is to be discussed prior to pelvic radiotherapy involving a high risk of premature ovarian failure. For prepubertal girls, ovarian tissue cryopreservation should be proposed in the case of treatment with a high gonadotoxic risk. In pubertal males, sperm cryopreservation must be systematically offered to any male who is to undergo cancer treatment, regardless of toxicity. Testicular tissue cryopreservation must be proposed in males unable to cryopreserve sperm who are to undergo a treatment with intermediate or severe risk of gonadotoxicity. In prepubertal boys, testicular tissue preservation is: - recommended for chemotherapy with a CED ≥7500 mg/m2 or radiotherapy ≥3 Gy on both testicles. - proposed for chemotherapy with a CED ≥5.000 mg/m2 or radiotherapy ≥2 Gy. If several possible strategies, the ultimate choice is made by the patient.

Abstract
Stem and progenitor cells located within stem cell niches maintain the renewal and regeneration of tissues and organs throughout the life of an adult organism. Stem cell niche component dysfunction might alter the activity of stem cells and ultimately lead to the development of difficult-to-treat chronic or acute disorders. Of note, some cases of idiopathic male infertility, a highly prevalent diagnosis with no specific treatment options, might be associated with a spermatogonial stem cell(SSC) niche disturbance. To overcome this disease entity, approaches aiming at launching the regeneration of an altered stem cell niche are worth considering. Particularly, mesenchymal stromal cells (MSCs) or their secretome might fulfill this task due to their promising contribution in recovering injured stem cell niches. However, the successful application of MSC-based treatment is limited by the uncovered mechanisms of action of MSCs and their secretome. Specific animal models should be developed or adapted to reveal the role of MSCs and their secretome in a stem cell niche recovery. In this review, in a bid to consider MSCs and their secretome as a therapeutic regenerative approach for idiopathic male infertility we focus on the rationale of SSC niche injury modeling.

Overall Survival with Brentuximab Vedotin in Stage III or IV Hodgkin's Lymphoma. N Engl J Med 2022; 387:310-320.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Five-year follow-up in a trial involving patients with previously untreated stage III or IV classic Hodgkin's lymphoma showed long-term progression-free survival benefits with first-line therapy with brentuximab vedotin, a CD30-directed antibody-drug conjugate, plus doxorubicin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (A+AVD), as compared with doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine (ABVD). A planned interim analysis indicated a potential benefit with regard to overall survival; data from a median of 6 years of follow-up are now available. METHODS We randomly assigned patients in a 1:1 ratio to receive up to six cycles of A+AVD or ABVD. The primary end point, modified progression-free survival, has been reported previously. The key secondary end point was overall survival in the intention-to-treat population. Safety was also assessed. RESULTS A total of 664 patients were assigned to receive A+AVD and 670 to receive ABVD. At a median follow-up of 73.0 months, 39 patients in the A+AVD group and 64 in the ABVD group had died (hazard ratio, 0.59; 95% confidence interval [CI], 0.40 to 0.88; P = 0.009). The 6-year overall survival estimates were 93.9% (95% CI, 91.6 to 95.5) in the A+AVD group and 89.4% (95% CI, 86.6 to 91.7) in the ABVD group. Progression-free survival was longer with A+AVD than with ABVD (hazard ratio for disease progression or death, 0.68; 95% CI, 0.53 to 0.86). Fewer patients in the A+AVD group than in the ABVD group received subsequent therapy, including transplantation, and fewer second cancers were reported with A+AVD (in 23 vs. 32 patients). Primary prophylaxis with granulocyte colony-stimulating factor was recommended after an increased incidence of febrile neutropenia was observed with A+AVD. More patients had peripheral neuropathy with A+AVD than with ABVD, but most patients in the two groups had resolution or amelioration of the event by the last follow-up. CONCLUSIONS Patients who received A+AVD for the treatment of stage III or IV Hodgkin's lymphoma had a survival advantage over those who received ABVD.

Abstract
Background and Objective The global incidence of malignant tumors in children (0-14 years) and adolescents (15-19 years) ranges between 95 per 1 million and 255 per 1 million, which seriously affects the survival of patients. In the past 30 years, with the application of comprehensive treatments (including surgery, chemotherapy, radiotherapy, and bone marrow transplantation), great progress has been made in the treatment of malignant tumors in children and adolescents. The 5-year survival rate now exceeds 80%, and most patients can smoothly enter adolescence or the reproductive period. However, due to the particular age of patients with malignant tumors in children and adolescents, treatment may cause abnormal growth of the patient's height, bones, and some vital organs (such as the pituitary gland and reproductive organs). Treatment may also cause abnormal secretion of growth hormones, thyroid hormones, and sex hormones. These complications seriously affect the quality of life of tumor patients. In the past ten years, countries have established long-term follow-up specifications for children with tumors. These programs have found that, in adulthood, 67% to 75% of children who survived having tumors have at least one treatment-related complication. Among patients receiving chemotherapy, gonadal dysfunction is the most common related endocrine dysfunction. Methods This paper reviews the literature on fertility protection services for cancer patients in foreign countries was conducted to provide a reference for developing gonadal protection services for cancer patients and for establishing consensus or guidelines on gonadal protection in China. Key Content and Findings In the treatment of childhood cancer, the assistance of reproductive technology can effectively reduce the occurrence of complications from treatment. Conclusions Therefore, minimizing the effects of radiotherapy and chemotherapy on the growth and endocrine of children and adolescents while treating tumors is a new challenge for oncologists.

Abstract
The outcome of patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) has improved significantly in recent years, and now attention is increasingly being focused on the well-being of these young patients. This study aimed to analyse the influence of HL and its treatment on the spermatogenic status of 46 male HL patients with available spermiograms, treated between 2008 and 2016. Analysing prognostic factors at diagnosis, we found that the number of spermatozoa was reduced in stage III-IV; motility and vitality were reduced in stage III-IV and in the presence of B symptoms; and abnormal forms were increased in patients with elevated erythrocyte sedimentation rate (ESR) and low albumin. Furthermore, we found that haematopoietic stem cell transplantation (HSCT) was associated with a severe impairment of fertility in terms of sperm motility. In HL-treated patients who did not undergo HSCT we found a statistically significantly improved fertility in terms of motility. In this study, we found that HSCT induced infertility in the majority of male patients with HL, but that first-line treatment could improve the impaired fertility status caused by disease. Further studies are needed in larger case series to investigate risk factors for impaired fertility at HL diagnosis and after treatment.

Male and Female Fertility: Prevention and Monitoring Hodgkin' Lymphoma and Diffuse Large B-Cell Lymphoma Adult Survivors. A Systematic Review by the Fondazione Italiana Linfomi. Cancers (Basel) 2021; 13:cancers13122881. [PMID: 34207634 PMCID: PMC8228520 DOI: 10.3390/cancers13122881] [Citation(s) in RCA: 4] [Impact Index Per Article: 1.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Key Words] [Track Full Text] [Download PDF] [Figures] [Journal Information] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 05/01/2021] [Revised: 06/02/2021] [Accepted: 06/05/2021] [Indexed: 01/08/2023] Open
Abstract
BACKGROUND Adult patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) and diffuse large B-cell lymphoma (DLBCL) have prolonged survival but face the risk of treatment-induced impaired fertility. This systematic review, conducted by Fondazione Italiana Linfomi (FIL) researchers, aims to evaluate the incidence of treatment-related infertility, fertility preservation options, fertility assessment measures, and the optimal interval between the end of treatment and conception. METHODS MEDLINE, the Cochrane Library, and EMBASE were systematically searched up to September 2020 for published cohort, case-control, and cross-sectional studies on fertility issues. RESULTS Forty-five eligible studies were identified. Gonadotoxicity was related to sex, type and dosage of treatment, and, in females, to age. After receiving alkylating-agent-containing regimens, less than 30% of males recovered spermatogenesis, and 45% of females ≥30 years in age retained regular menstrual cycles. Sperm cryopreservation was offered to the majority of patients; sperm utilization resulted in a 33-61% pregnancy rate. After ovarian tissue transplantation, the spontaneous pregnancy and live birth rates were 38% and 23%; after IVF, the live birth rate was 38.4%. No data could be extracted on the utilization rate of cryopreserved mature oocytes. The results of studies on GnRH analogs are controversial; therefore, their use should not be considered an alternative to established cryopreservation techniques. Sperm count, FSH, and inhibin-B levels were appropriate measures to investigate male fertility; serum AMH levels and antral follicle count were the most appropriate markers for ovarian reserve. No data could be found regarding the optimal interval between the end of treatment and conception. CONCLUSIONS The risk of infertility should be discussed with adult lymphoma patients at the time of diagnosis, and fertility preservation options should be proposed before first-line treatment with alkylating-agent-containing regimens.

LANCET HAEMATOLOGY 2021; 8:e410-e421. [PMID: 34048680 DOI: 10.1016/s2352-3026(21)00102-2] [Citation(s) in RCA: 73] [Impact Index Per Article: 24.3] [Reference Citation Analysis] [Abstract] [Track Full Text] [Subscribe] [Scholar Register] [Received: 01/08/2021] [Revised: 03/17/2021] [Accepted: 03/18/2021] [Indexed: 12/23/2022]
Abstract
BACKGROUND Despite advances in the treatment of Hodgkin lymphoma with the introduction of PET-adapted regimens, practical challenges prevent more widespread use of these approaches. The ECHELON-1 study assessed the safety and efficacy of front-line A+AVD (brentuximab vedotin, doxorubicin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine) versus ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine, and dacarbazine) in patients with stage III or IV classical Hodgkin lymphoma. The primary analysis showed improved modified progression-free survival with A+AVD. We present an updated analysis of ECHELON-1 at 5 years, an important landmark for this patient population. METHODS ECHELON-1 was an international, open-label, randomised, phase 3 trial done at 218 clinical sites, including hospitals, cancer centres, and community clinics, in 21 countries. Previously untreated patients (≥18 years with an Eastern Cooperative Oncology Group performance status of ≤2) with stage III or IV classical Hodgkin lymphoma were randomly assigned (1:1) to receive A+AVD (brentuximab vedotin, 1·2 mg/kg of bodyweight, doxorubicin 25 mg/m2 of body surface area, vinblastine 6 mg/m2, and dacarbazine 375 mg/m2) or ABVD (doxorubicin 25 mg/m2, bleomycin 10 U/m2, vinblastine 6 mg/m2, and dacarbazine 375 mg/m2) intravenously on days 1 and 15 of each 28-day cycle for up to six cycles. Stratification factors included region (Americas vs Europe vs Asia) and International Prognostic Score risk group (low, intermediate, or high risk). The primary endpoint was modified progression-free survival; this 5-year update includes analysis of progression-free survival as per investigator assessment in the intention-to-treat population, which was an exploratory endpoint, although the 5-year analysis was not prespecified in the protocol. This trial is registered with ClinicalTrials.gov (NCT01712490) and EudraCT (2011-005450-60), and is ongoing. FINDINGS Between Nov 19, 2012, and Jan 13, 2016, 1334 patients were randomly assigned to receive A+AVD (n=664) or ABVD (n=670). At a median follow-up of 60·9 months (IQR 52·2-67·3), 5-year progression-free survival was 82·2% (95% CI 79·0-85·0) with A+AVD and 75·3% (71·7-78·5) with ABVD (hazard ratio [HR] 0·68 [95% CI 0·53-0·87]; p=0·0017). Among PET-2-negative patients, 5-year progression-free survival was higher with A+AVD than with ABVD (84·9% [95% CI 81·7-87·6] vs 78·9% [75·2-82·1]; HR 0·66 [95% CI 0·50-0·88]; p=0·0035). 5-year progression-free survival for PET-2-positive patients was 60·6% (95% CI 45·0-73·1) with A+AVD versus 45·9% (32·7-58·2) with ABVD (HR 0·70 [95% CI 0·39-1·26]; p=0·23). Peripheral neuropathy continued to improve or resolve over time with both A+AVD (375 [85%] of 443 patients) and ABVD (245 [86%] of 286 patients); more patients had ongoing peripheral neuropathy in the A+AVD group (127 [19%] of 662) than in the ABVD group (59 [9%] of 659). Fewer secondary malignancies were reported with A+AVD (19 [3%] of 662) than with ABVD (29 [4%] of 659). More livebirths were reported in the A+AVD group (n=75) than in the ABVD group (n=50). INTERPRETATION With 5 years of follow-up, A+AVD showed robust and durable improvement in progression-free survival versus ABVD, regardless of PET-2 status, and a consistent safety profile. On the basis of these findings, A+AVD should be preferred over ABVD for patients with previously untreated stage III or IV classical Hodgkin lymphoma.

Abstract
Cancer and oncologic therapies can have significant adverse effects on male reproductive potential, leaving many men permanently infertile. Fertility preservation has emerged as a key survivorship issue over the past 20 years, and numerous professional societies have published guidelines calling for fertility preservation to become a routine component of oncologic care. Most males with cancer are able to produce a semen specimen for fertility preservation, but numerous other methods of sperm procurement are available for patients who cannot provide a sufficient sample. Despite these options, fertility preservation will remain a challenge for prepubertal boys and men without sperm production. For these patients, experimental and investigational approaches offer the hope that one day they will translate to the clinical arena, offering additional pathways for successful fertility preservation care.

Abstract
We herein summarise the evidence concerning the impact of sperm DNA fragmentation in various clinical infertility scenarios and the advances on sperm DNA fragmentation tests. The collected evidence was used to formulate 41 recommendations. Of these, 13 recommendations concern technical aspects of sperm DNA fragmentation testing, including pre-analytical information, clinical thresholds and interpretation of results. The remaining 28 recommendations relate to indications for sperm DNA fragmentation testing and clinical management. Clinical scenarios like varicocele, unexplained infertility, idiopathic infertility, recurrent pregnancy loss, intrauterine insemination, in vitro fertilisation/intracytoplasmic sperm injection, fertility counselling for men with infertility risk factors and sperm cryopreservation have been contemplated. The bulk evidence supporting the recommendations has increased in recent years, but it is still of moderate to low quality. This guideline provides clinicians with advice on best practices in sperm DNA fragmentation testing. Also, recommendations are provided on possible management strategies to overcome infertility related to sperm DNA fragmentation, based on the best available evidence. Lastly, we identified gaps in knowledge and opportunities for research and elaborated a list of recommendations to stimulate further investigation.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION How is semen quality affected by treatment in survivors of non-Hodgkin lymphoma (NHL)? SUMMARY ANSWER Before cancer treatment, most NHL subjects were normozoospermic and, while standard first-line treatments seemed compatible with post-treatment recovery after 18 months, salvage therapy followed by haematopoietic stem cell transplant caused permanent damage to spermatogenesis in many cases, with 66% azoospermic subjects in the long term. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Testicular function has been widely investigated in relation to the most common malignancies in men of reproductive age, such as testicular cancer and Hodgkin lymphoma, but NHL has been somewhat under-investigated. The available reports generally show a post-treatment worsening of semen parameters in NHL survivors, but they involved small caseloads or a subgroup of broader caseloads, and their results are not comparable. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION We conducted a retrospective analysis of 222 subjects who attended our University Hospital Sperm Bank between 2002 and 2017 for sperm cryopreservation after a diagnosis of NHL. PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS The study included 222 patients with NHL who underwent sperm cryopreservation before any antineoplastic treatment. Subjects with any comorbidity and/or other conditions interfering with sperm parameters were excluded. All patients underwent a careful medical history and physical examination at the time of sperm cryopreservation (T0) and had at least one follow-up visit at 6 (T6), 12 (T12), 18 (T18) and/or 24 months (T24) or more than 24 months (T > 24), with a median follow-up of 47.5 months (range 28-140 months). Fertility information was collected through the administration of a questionnaire. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE Pre-treatment, more than 80% of NHL patients were normozoospermic and in 15.9% of cases had already fathered a child. Aggressive lymphomas were associated with worse baseline semen volume and total sperm number compared to indolent subtypes (P < 0.05). Post-treatment analyses showed that standard first-line treatments alone had a more favourable outcome than intensified regimens for semen parameters, with total sperm number returning to near-baseline values at 18 months (T0: 195.0 ± 189.8 versus T18: 113.4 ± 103.1, P = 0.278), and a 7.7% prevalence of azoospermia at 2 years. In this subgroup receiving standard first-line treatments, radiotherapy of the pelvis versus other 'high' sites (mediastinum, latero-cervical and axillary lymph nodes, etc.) was associated with an increased risk of developing post-treatment azoospermia (odds ratio 4.29, 95% CI 1.81-10.14; P = 0.001). Two-thirds of subjects who had relapsed or had disease progression after first-line treatment and then underwent salvage treatment ± haematopoietic stem cell transplant became azoospermic. Fertility data were available for 176 patients: 15.9% already had at least one child prior to the NHL diagnosis and 12.5% (22 patients) desired children after treatment. Fourteen patients achieved fatherhood: 12 through natural conception and two following ART. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION The main limitations of the study are the lack of data on blood hormones for evaluation of testicular function as a whole and the non-compliance of several patients in attending follow-up visits at all time points, resulting in a reduced sample size for the treatment subgroup analyses. Furthermore, despite a good fertility questionnaire response rate (>80%), the low number of NHL survivors actively seeking fatherhood limits the generalization of results. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS The increased survival of NHL patients of reproductive age makes it essential to focus on the testicular toxicity of the treatment. Sperm cryopreservation must be suggested before any treatment. Two years after first-line treatments, sperm number showed signs of recovery: this finding is of the utmost importance for oncofertility counselling, as it indicates that only a standard first-line chemotherapy in many patients may be compatible with at least a partial spermatogenesis recovery in the long term. Nonetheless, it is expected that up to 30% of subjects will require treatment intensification, which could result in permanent testicular damage; in such cases the use of banked semen might represent the patient's best chance for future fertility.

Abstract
Improvements in survival rates with gonad-sparing protocols for childhood and adolescence cancer have increased the optimism of survivors to become parents after treatment. Findings in rodents indicate that chromosomal aberrations can be induced in male germ cells by genotoxic exposures and transmitted to offspring and future generations with effects on development, fertility and health. Thus, there is a need for effective technologies to identify human sperm carrying chromosomal aberrations to assess the germ-line risks, especially for cancer survivors who have received genotoxic therapies. The time-dependent changes in the burden of sperm carrying structural chromosomal aberrations were assessed for the first time in a cancer setting, using the AM8 sperm FISH protocol which simultaneously detects abnormalities in chromosomal structure and number in sperm. Nine Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients provided 20 semen samples before, during, and after NOVP therapy (Novantrone, Oncovin, Velban and Prednisone) and radiation therapy that produced scattered gonadal doses from <0.05 to 0.6 Gy. Late meiosis was found to be the most sensitive to NOVP treatment for the production of sperm with chromosomal abnormalities, both in structure and number. Earlier stages of spermatogenesis were less sensitive and there was no evidence that therapy-exposed stem cells resulted in increased frequencies of sperm with abnormalities in chromosomal structure or number. This indicates that NOVP therapy may increase the risks for paternal transmission of chromosomal structural aberrations for sperm produced 32 to 45 days after a treatment with these drugs and implies that there are no excess risks for pregnancies conceived more than 6 months after this therapy. This clinical evaluation of the AM8 sperm FISH protocol indicates that it is a promising tool for assessing an individual's burden of sperm carrying chromosomal structural aberrations as well as aneuploidies after cancer therapy, with broad applications in other clinical and environmental situations that may pose aneugenic or clastogenic risks to human spermatogenesis.

Abstract
BACKGROUND Men who have just started cytotoxic therapy for cancer are uncertain and concerned about whether spermatozoa collected or pregnancies occurring during therapy might be transmitting genetic damage to offspring. There are no comprehensive guidelines on the risks of different doses of the various cytotoxic, and usually genotoxic, antineoplastic agents. OBJECTIVES To develop a schema showing the risks of mutagenic damage when spermatozoa, exposed to various genotoxic agents during spermatogenesis, are collected or used to produce a pregnancy. MATERIALS AND METHODS A comprehensive literature review was performed updating the data on genetic and epigenetic effects of genotoxic agents on animal and human spermatozoa exposed during spermatogenic development. RESULTS Relevant data on human spermatozoa and offspring are extremely limited, but there are extensive genetic studies in experimental animals that define sensitivities for specific drugs and times. The animal data were extrapolated to humans based on the stage when the cells were exposed and the relative kinetics of spermatogenesis and were consistent with the limited human data. In humans, alkylating agents and radiation should already induce a high risk of mutations in spermatozoa produced within 1 or 2 weeks after initiation of therapy. Topoisomerase II inhibitors and possibly microtubule inhibitors produce the greatest risk at weeks 5-7 of therapy. Nucleoside analogs, antimetabolites, and bleomycin exert their mutagenic effects on spermatozoa collected at 7-10 weeks of therapy. DISCUSSION AND CONCLUSIONS A schema showing the time from initiation of therapy at which specific antineoplastic agents can cause significant levels of genetic damage in conceptuses and live offspring was developed. The estimates and methods for computing the level of such risk from an individual patient's treatment regimen will enable patients and counselors to make informed decisions on the use of spermatozoa or continuation of a pregnancy.

Abstract
Over the last decade, the number of cancer survivors has increased thanks to progress in diagnosis and treatment. Cancer treatments are often accompanied by adverse side effects depending on the age of the patient, the type of cancer, the treatment regimen, and the doses. The testicular tissue is very sensitive to chemotherapy and radiotherapy. This review will summarize the epidemiological and experimental data concerning the consequences of exposure to chemotherapy during the prepubertal period or adulthood on spermatogenic progression, sperm production, sperm nuclear quality, and the health of the offspring. Studies concerning the gonadotoxicity of anticancer drugs in adult survivors of childhood cancer are still limited compared with those concerning the effects of chemotherapy exposure during adulthood. In humans, it is difficult to evaluate exactly the toxicity of chemotherapeutic agents because cancer treatments often combine chemotherapy and radiotherapy. Thus, it is important to undertake experimental studies in animal models in order to define the mechanism involved in the drug gonadotoxicity and to assess the effects of their administration alone or in combination on immature and mature testis. These data will help to better inform cancer patients after recovery about the risks of chemotherapy for their future fertility and to propose fertility preservation options.

Abstract
Background Numerous tests have been proposed to evaluate sperm DNA integrity. To assess the sperm chromatin dispersion (SCD) test in an andrology laboratory, twenty-five men attending Clermont-Ferrand (France) University Hospital’s Center for Reproductive Medicine were recruited. Sperm DNA damage was measured in the same semen samples using the SCD test and the Terminal Uridine Nick-end Labeling by flow cytometry technique (TUNEL/FCM) after density gradient centrifugation. Results SCD test reliability between readings, readers or slides was clearly established with very high agreement between measurements (Intraclass correlation coefficient (ICC) at 0.97, 0.95 and 0.98 respectively). Despite very good agreement between the SCD test and TUNEL/FCM (ICC at 0.94), the SCD test tended to slightly but significantly underestimate DNA damage compared with TUNEL (p = 0.0127). This systematic difference between the two techniques was − 3.39 ± 1.45% (mean ± SE). Conclusions Andrology laboratories using the SCD test to measure sperm DNA damage need to know that it appears to give slightly underestimated measurements compared to TUNEL/FCM. However, this systematic underestimation is very small in amplitude. Both techniques give almost perfectly congruent results. Our study underlines the importance for each laboratory to validate its method to assess sperm DNA damage before implementing it in routine andrology lab practice.

Abstract
Childhood cancer survivors (CCS) are more likely than siblings to report low sperm count and to use assisted reproductive technologies. Yet, it is still unclear if the sperm produced many years after remission of cancer display DNA and chromatin damage linked to male infertility and poor embryo development. As well, the importance of the age at diagnosis in relation to puberty is poorly understood. In this pilot study, we compared reproductive parameters and sperm damage from adult survivors of childhood leukemia and lymphoma, sub-divided into those diagnosed before or after puberty, to men with no history of cancer. Our data indicate that CCS, independently of the age of diagnosis, have a high risk of low sperm count and when sperm are present, chances of DNA and chromatin abnormalities appear similar to those seen in the general population. Exposure to alkylating agents is correlated with low sperm count whereas exposure to anthracyclines, and doxorubicin in particular, could have long-term consequences on sperm integrity. This study highlights the need for further research on fertility among male CCS and the importance of informing families about the potential long-term impact of chemotherapy on male fertility regardless of age at diagnosis.

Abstract
Cancer treatments may compromise the fertility of children, adolescents, and young adults, and treatment-related infertility represents an important survivorship issue that should be addressed at diagnosis and in follow-up to ensure optimal decision-making, including consideration of pursuing fertility preservation. Risk of infertility varies substantially with patient and treatment factors. The ability to accurately assess fertility risk for many patients is hampered by limitations of the current literature, including heterogeneity in patient populations, treatments, and outcome measures. In this article, we review and synthesize the available data to estimate fertility risks from modern cancer treatments for both children and adult cancer survivors to enable clinicians to counsel patients about future fertility.

Abstract
Anticancer regimens for Hodgkin lymphoma (HL) patients include highly genotoxic drugs that have been very successful in killing tumor cells and providing a 90% disease-free survival at five years. However, some of these treatments do not have a specific cell target, damaging both cancerous and normal cells. Thus, HL survivors have a high risk of developing new primary cancers, both hematologic and solid tumors, which have been related to treatment. Several studies have shown that after treatment, HL patients and survivors present persistent chromosomal instability, including nonclonal chromosomal aberrations. The frequency and type of chromosomal abnormalities appear to depend on the type of therapy and the cell type examined. For example, MOPP chemotherapy affects hematopoietic and germ stem cells leading to long-term genotoxic effects and azoospermia, while ABVD chemotherapy affects transiently sperm cells, with most of the patients showing recovery of spermatogenesis. Both regimens have long-term effects in somatic cells, presenting nonclonal chromosomal aberrations and genomic chaos in a fraction of noncancerous cells. This is a source of karyotypic heterogeneity that could eventually generate a more stable population acquiring clonal chromosomal aberrations and leading towards the development of a new cancer.

Abstract
Fertility is a growing healthcare issue for a rising number of cancer survivors. In men, cancer itself and its treatment can negatively affect spermatogenesis by targeting the dividing spermatogonia and their cellular environment, ultimately leading to a reduction of testicular germ cells and sperm count. Experimental data and prospective longitudinal studies have shown that sperm production can recover after cancer treatment. But despite this, yet unpredictable, recovery in sperm production, cancer survivors are more at risk to produce sperm with aneuploidy, DNA damage, abnormal chromatin structure, and epigenetic defects even 2 years post-treatment. Sperm DNA alteration is of clinical concern, as these patients may father children or seek assisted reproduction technologies (ART) using gametes with damaged genome that could result in adverse progeny outcomes. Interestingly, large cohort studies revealed lower birth rate but no significant impact on the health of the children born from male cancer survivors (naturally or using ART). Nevertheless, a better understanding of how cocktail of chemotherapy and new anticancer agents affect spermatogenesis and sperm quality is needed to reduce side effects. Moreover, developing new fertility preservation strategies is essential as sperm cryopreservation before treatment is currently the only option but does not apply for prepubertal/young postpubertal patients.

Abstract
Aim To report fertility status perception, fertility preservation and desire to have children in French cancer survivors 2 and 5 years after diagnosis. Methods A total of 427 women and 115 men self-reported treatment-induced infertility, fertility status, access to gamete conservation, desire to have children and pregnancy/live births. Results A total of 96.5% of men and 92.9% of women were thought to be fertile at diagnosis and 38% desired to have children. A total of 57.8% of men and 67.4% of women declared that no fertility preservation had been discussed before treatment. After 2 years, 26.8% of patients still desired to have children. After 5 years, 18 live births have been reported. Conclusion Despite a legal obligation and technical progress, there is a lack of information given to patients.

Abstract
PURPOSE There is insufficient understanding of the effects of malignant diseases themselves and chemotherapy on semen quality and final fertility outcomes. Here, the authors focused on the patients with malignant diseases who cryopreserved sperm pre- or post-chemotherapy for future fertility, and revealed how clinical settings can affect semen quality and final outcomes. METHODS The authors reviewed the records of 257 patients with malignant diseases who cryopreserved sperm. Among 257 cases, 113 men with germ cell tumors (GCTs) and 111 men with hematological disorders (HDs) were included in this study. Twenty-five patients who achieved successful outcomes using cryopreserved sperm were also analyzed. RESULTS In the men with GCTs and HDs, respectively, differences were observed in age (28 vs 27 years), sperm concentration (32.6 vs 46.1 million/mL, P < 0.05), motility (42.2% vs 41.0%), and the rate of cryopreservation before chemotherapy (90% vs 59%, P < 0.0001). For successful pregnancies and deliveries, age at cryopreservation (30.0 vs 35.3 years, P < 0.05) and disease type (12/16 vs 3/9, P < 0.05) were significant factors. CONCLUSIONS Compared to patients with GCTs, those with HDs have a lower pregnancy and delivery rate, even though semen quality is higher. Disease type and age at cryopreservation are significant factors for successful outcomes.

Abstract
PURPOSE This study reviews FDA-approved drugs that negatively impact spermatozoa in animals, as well as how these findings reflect on observations in human male gametes. METHODS The FDA drug warning labels included in the DailyMed database and the peer-reviewed literature in the PubMed database were searched for information to identify single-ingredient, FDA-approved prescription drugs with spermatotoxic effects. RESULTS A total of 235 unique, single-ingredient, FDA-approved drugs reported to be spermatotoxic in animals were identified in the drug labels. Forty-nine of these had documented negative effects on humans in either the drug label or literature, while 31 had no effect or a positive impact on human sperm. For the other 155 drugs that were spermatotoxic in animals, no human data was available. CONCLUSION The current animal models are not very effective for predicting human spermatotoxicity, and there is limited information available about the impact of many drugs on human spermatozoa. New approaches should be designed that more accurately reflect the findings in men, including more studies on human sperm in vitro and studies using other systems (ex vivo tissue culture, xenograft models, in silico studies, etc.). In addition, the present data is often incomplete or reported in a manner that prevents interpretation of their clinical relevance. Changes should be made to the requirements for pre-clinical testing, drug surveillance, and the warning labels of drugs to ensure that the potential risks to human fertility are clearly indicated.

Abstract
The number of cancer survivors is increasing and their quality of life is becoming a major public health issue. Cancer treatments reduce men's reproductive health by targeting spermatogenesis. Ultimately, DNA, chromatin and the epigenome of spermatozoa can be altered in cancer survivors. Knowing whether the history of cancer and the treatments received can have consequences on the health of their offspring is therefore a fundamental question for these patients. This review gathers the experimental and epidemiological evidences of the effects observed on the direct descendants and on several generations, and draws up the state of knowledge on the mechanisms potentially involved. Experimental data describe inter- and transgenerational effects of paternal exposure depending on the type of treatment, dose and time of exposure. In the human population, the analysis of the effects specifically due to chemotherapy is still limited because they are often combined with irradiation treatments. However, it appears that chemotherapy agents affect the birth rate but do not have a significant impact on the health of the children born. Nevertheless, the demonstration of modifications of the sperm epigenome in cancer survivors, even after a period of remission, as well as changes in the sperm of the progeny in animal models, suggests a possible transgenerational transmission that remains to be studied in the human population.

Abstract
Sperm cryopreservation has been utilized routinely for over 40 years to preserve fertility in men undergoing cancer therapy and allow conception for infertile couples. This article provides a concise and up-to-date review of the literature and covers the latest advances in sperm cryopreservation and its array of clinical indications. Over recent years, the scope of clinical indications used for sperm cryopreservation has expanded widely. Consequently, more patient groups are eligible for sperm freezing, requiring specialist resources and higher running costs. Although sperm cryopreservation prior to cancer therapy is readily available in many countries, referral rates by oncology specialists and levels of patient engagement with cryopreservation services are both reported as low. Furthermore, sperm banking continues to raise ethical issues such whether sperm donation should be anonymous and whether sperm can be utilized posthumously by the surviving partner without consent from the patient. This review focuses on the technological advances and ethical controversies in sperm cryopreservation, and how better understanding of these issues could lead to improved access to fertility preserving treatment for patients.

Abstract
Our objective was to optimize the CA technique on mammal embryos. MATERIALS AND METHODS 1000 frozen 2-cell embryos from B6CBA mice were used. Based on a literature review, and after checking post-thaw embryo viability, the main outcome measures included: 1) comparison of the embryo recovery rate between 2 CA protocols (2 agarose layers and 3 agarose layers); 2) comparison of DNA damage by the CA on embryos with (ZP+) and without (ZP-) zona pellucida; and 3) comparison of DNA damage in embryos exposed to 2 genotoxic agents (H2O2 and simulated sunlight irradiation (SSI)). DNA damage was quantified by the % tail DNA. RESULTS 1) The recovery rate was 3,3% (n=5/150) with the 2 agarose layers protocol and 71,3% (n=266/371) with the 3 agarose layers protocol. 2) DNA damage did not differ statistically significantly between ZP- and ZP+ embryos (12.60±2.53% Tail DNA vs 11.04±1.50 (p=0.583) for the control group and 49.23±4.16 vs 41.13±4.31 (p=0.182) for the H2O2 group); 3) H2O2 and SSI induced a statistically significant increase in DNA damage compared with the control group (41.13±4.31% Tail DNA, 36.33±3.02 and 11.04±1.50 (p<0.0001)). The CA on mammal embryos was optimized by using thawed embryos, by avoiding ZP removal and by the adjunction of a third agarose layer.

Abstract
Anticancer drugs, such as alkylating agents, can affect male fertility by targeting the DNA of proliferative spermatogonial stem cells (SSC). Therefore, to reduce such side effects, other chemotherapeutics are used. However, less is known about their potential genotoxicity on SSC. Moreover, DNA repair mechanisms in SSC are poorly understood. To model treatments deprived of alkylating agents that are commonly used in cancer treatment, we tested the impact of exposure to doxorubicin and vincristine, alone or in combination (MIX), on a rat spermatogonial cell line with SSC characteristics (GC-6spg). Vincristine alone induced a cell cycle arrest and cell death without genotoxic impact. On the other hand, doxorubicin and the MIX induced a dose-dependent cell death. More importantly, doxorubicin and the MIX induced DNA breaks, measured by the COMET assay, at a non-cytotoxic dose. To elucidate which DNA repair pathway is activated in spermatogonia after exposure to doxorubicin, we screened the expression of 75 genes implicated in DNA repair. Interestingly, all were expressed constitutively in GC-6spg, suggesting great potential to respond to genotoxic stress. Doxorubicin treatments affected the expression of 16 genes (>1.5 fold change;P < 0.05) involved in cell cycle, base/nucleotide excision repair, homologous recombination and non-homologous end joining (NHEJ). The significant increase in CDKN1A and XRCC1 suggest a cell cycle arrest and implies an alternative NHEJ pathway in response to doxorubicin-induced DNA breaks. Together, our results support the idea that undifferentiated spermatogonia have the ability to respond to DNA injury from chemotherapeutic compounds and escape DNA break accumulation.

Abstract
INTRODUCTION Approximately 70,000 adolescent and young adults (AYA) are diagnosed with cancer each year. While advancements in treatment have led to improved prognosis and survival for patients, these same treatments can adversely affect AYA reproductive capacity. Localized treatments such as surgery and radiation therapy may affect fertility by removing or damaging reproductive organs, and systemic therapies such as chemotherapy can be toxic to gonads, (ovaries and testicles), thus affecting fertility and/or endocrine function. This can be traumatic for AYA with cancer as survivors often express desire to have genetic children and report feelings of regret or depression as a result of infertility caused by cancer treatments. AREAS COVERED Emerging technologies in the field of assisted reproductive technology offer new promise for preserving the reproductive capacity of AYA cancer patients prior to treatment as well as providing alternatives for survivors. The following review revisits contemporary approaches to fertility preservation as well newly developing technologies. EXPERT COMMENTARY There are several advances in ART that hold promise for patients and survivors. However there are challenges that inhibit uptake including poor communication between providers and patients about risks and fertility preservation options; high costs; and lack of insurance coverage for fertility preservation services.

Abstract
Sperm cryopreservation is widely used by cancer patients undergoing chemo- or radiotherapy. Evidence suggests that IVF outcome with cryopreserved spermatozoa from cancer patients is less successful. To determine whether sperm DNA fragmentation (SDF) is involved in the lower fertilising ability of cryopreserved spermatozoa of cancer patients, SDF was evaluated in thawed spermatozoa from 78 men affected by different cancers and 53 men with non-cancer pathologies. SDF was assessed by the terminal deoxyribonucleotidyl transferase-mediated dUTP–digoxigenin nick end-labelling (TUNEL), propidium iodide (PI), flow cytometry procedure, which allows determination of two different cell populations (PIbrighter and PIdimmer) and thus to determine the percentage of DNA fragmented sperm in both. PIdimmer spermatozoa are totally unviable, whereas PIbrighter spermatozoa with SDF may be motile and morphologically normal, having higher biological relevance in the reproductive process. We found that the proportion of DNA fragmented PIbrighter cells was significantly higher in thawed spermatozoa from cancer than non-cancer patients. Moreover, a positive correlation was found between the degree of DNA fragmentation and sperm motility in the PIbrighter population of spermatozoa from cancer patients that wasn’t seen in non-cancer patients. The results of the present study suggest that higher SDF levels may contribute to the lower IVF success of cryopreserved spermatozoa from cancer patients and that evaluation of SDF could complement genetic counselling as part of the routine management of cancer patients who seek fertility preservation.

Abstract
Background Except for testicular cancer and Hodgkin’s disease, baseline data on semen quality in case of cancers as well as systemic pathologies of the young adult are scarce or based on low sample size. Methods Semen quality in patients having testicular cancer (TGCT, n = 2315), Hodgkin’s disease (HD, n = 1175), non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma (NHL, n = 439), leukemia (L, n = 360), sarcoma (S, n = 208), brain tumour (BT, n = 40), Behcet’s disease (Behcet’s, n = 68) or multiple sclerosis (MS, n = 73) was studied and compared to that of 1448 fertile men candidates for sperm donation (CSD) and 208 partners of pregnant women (PPW). All samples were studied following the same methodology in a single laboratory. Post freezing and thawing semen characteristics were also studied. Results The percentage of normozoospermic men was only 37 % for L patients and lower than 60 % for TGCT, NHL, S and BT. The level of sperm production was differently decreased according to pathologies, the median total sperm count in TC and L patients being four times lower (p < 0.01 when compared to CSD and PPW). The lowest percentage of progressively motile spermatozoa was found for L and BT patients (both, p < 0.01 compared to CSD and PPW). The percentage of morphologically normal spermatozoa was also reduced in cancer patients, especially in BT patients. Progressive motility after thawing in patients was about half that observed among candidates for sperm donation. In almost half of the semen of patients with testicular cancer or leukemia, the total number of motile spermatozoa per straw was less than 0.5 × 106 compared to 4.3 × 106 in CSD. Conclusions The present data confirm on large series the deleterious impact of various cancers of the young adult on semen quality, establishing thus baseline data for future studies. Owing to the post-thaw quality of the frozen straws, future fertility projects for the majority of the patients studied (in case there is no post-treatment recovery of spermatogenesis) should necessitate an ICSI to provide the best chance of paternity whatever the fertility check-up in the female partner.

Abstract
STUDY QUESTION Is spermatogenesis impairment caused by Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) itself or by the various treatments? SUMMARY ANSWER HL is not itself the main cause of impaired spermatogenesis, which is instead affected by the treatment; the extent of impairment depends on the type of treatment and the number of cycles. WHAT IS KNOWN ALREADY Data in the literature are contradictory, although most studies found poor semen quality in HL patients prior to treatment. The impact of therapy on spermatogenesis depends on the type of treatment, but the time needed to recover testicular function following treatment with chemotherapeutic agents inducing azoospermia is unknown. STUDY DESIGN, SIZE, DURATION In a retrospective study, the semen parameters of 519 patients (504 with sperm and 15 who were azoospermic) were investigated.HL patients were analysed before therapy. A longitudinal study was also conducted of semen quality in 202 patients pre- and post-ABVD (doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine and dacarbazine) at T0 (baseline) and 6 (T6), 12 (T12) and 24 (T24) months after the end of treatment, and of 42 patients pre- and post-BEACOPP (bleomycin, etoposide, doxorubicin, cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, prednisone), COPP/ABVD (cyclophosphamide, vincristine, procarbazine, prednisone, doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine and dacarbazine), OPP/ABVD (vincristine, procarbazine, prednisone, doxorubicin, bleomycin, vinblastine and dacarbazine) or MOPP (mechlorethamine, vincristine, procarbazine and prednisone) and inguinal radiotherapy at different observation times (from T0 to 16 years after treatment). PARTICIPANTS/MATERIALS, SETTING, METHODS Semen parameters were examined according to World Health Organization 2010 criteria, evaluating sperm concentration, total sperm number, progressive motility and morphology. MAIN RESULTS AND THE ROLE OF CHANCE Our data, which pertain to the largest caseload reported to date, indicate that 75% of HL patients are normozoospermic prior to treatment. The results from the HL patients studied pre- and post-therapy demonstrate that spermatogenesis recovery depends on the therapeutic regimen used. After ABVD, there was a statistically significant decrease in sperm concentration and total sperm number at T6 and T12 (P < 0.001; P < 0.01, respectively). There was a significant drop in progressive motility (P < 0.001) and a significant increase in abnormal forms (P < 0.01) at T6. The differences in sperm concentration, total sperm number and abnormal forms at T0 and T24 were not statistically significant, indicating that sperm quality had returned to pre-therapy values. The most interesting data in terms of patient management arise from the study of azoospermia induced by other chemotherapeutic agents. A high number of BEACOPP, COPP/ABVD, OPP/ABVD or MOPP cycles (≥6) induced a permanent absence of sperm in the seminal fluid, while even following a low number of cycles (<6), spermatogenesis only recovered after 3-5 years and semen quality was highly impaired. LIMITATIONS, REASONS FOR CAUTION The study type (retrospective) and the low caseload and varying time of the follow-up do not permit any firm conclusions to be drawn about the recovery of spermatogenesis after BEACOPP or other combined therapies, or the identification of any risk factors for testicular function in treated patients. WIDER IMPLICATIONS OF THE FINDINGS The pretreatment semen parameters of HL patients in this study were better than some results reported in the literature, with a higher percentage of normozoospermic patients. Strengths of this study were the large caseload of HL patients and a high degree of consistency in semen analysis, as all parameters were assessed in the same laboratory. Following the azoospermia induced by different chemotherapeutic protocols, spermatogenesis may take several years to recover. Awareness of this issue will enable oncologists to better inform patients about the possibility of recovering fertility post-treatment and also demonstrates the importance of semen cryobanking before beginning any cancer treatment.

Abstract
Dermatologists administer a broad spectrum of systemic medications. However, our current knowledge of potential risks to male fertility is still limited, particularly with the new emerging therapies in dermato-oncology. Individual differences in susceptibility and a history of andrological disorders influence prognostic values. For fertility protection, a thoughtful selection of medication and/or sperm cryopreservation remain the best options.

Abstract
Are all patients undergoing chemotherapy for long-term sperm banking at risk of permanent sterility? Male fertility is generally lower in men with cancer and all patient groups are at risk of azoospermia. Careful management is required to ensure that samples are not stored for excessively long periods should they not be required. A retrospective analysis of 1688 patient records and prospective recall of patients for semen testing were performed. Pre-therapy fertility was compared with a group of pre-vasectomy patients as a comparator. Those who fail to bank spermatozoa, rates of disposal of samples and the utilization in assisted reproduction were also examined. Sperm quality was poorest in testicular cancer (TC) patients followed by those with Hodgkin's lymphoma (HL) prior to treatment. Post-therapy data were available in 376 patients (42%). Sperm number was lowest (and azoospermia highest at 77%) in patients with HL treated with regimens other than adriamycin, bleomycin, vinblastine and dacarbazine (ABVD). Non-HL NHL and leukaemic patients had similarly high rates of azoospermia at 46 and 55%. HL patients treated with ABVD (11%) and TC patients (9.7%) had the lowest rates of azoospermia. Azoospermia was seen in every treatment group except for TC patients receiving carboplatin. Only 45 patients used their samples in ART (4.5%) in 10 years. Little is known about the fertility status of the patients not coming forward for follow-up testing, those conceiving naturally, those with no intention of conceiving and some which may have psychological reasons for not attending. In conclusion, virtually all patients undergoing chemotherapy are potentially at risk of temporary or permanent infertility. However, as uptake and utilization of stored material remain low, sperm banks should be carefully managed to ensure that resources are targeted to the patients most in need.
