British researchers have found that it is possible to obtain and cryopreserve semen samples from boys as young as 12 who are about to undergo cancer treatment.
The researchers were able to achieve preserve a semen sample in 86.1 percent of the 238 males 12 to 19 years old, according to Dr. Gulam Bahadur and colleagues from Royal Free and University College Medical School, London, England.
Patients were to be treated for a variety of cancers: Hodgkin’s lymphoma, non-Hodgkin’s lymphoma, osteosarcoma, Ewing’s sarcoma, acute lymphoblastic leukaemia (ALL), acute myeloid leukaemia (AML), testicular cancer and leukaemia. Semen volume was broadly uniform across the disease groups, except the ALL and Ewing’s sarcoma groups, which showed relatively lower and higher mean semen volumes, respectively.
