Male fertility after cancer treatment in young adults
Part of Cancer clinical trials.
This study looks at how cancer treatments affect testicular function and fertility in young men who were diagnosed between ages 15 and 39. By collecting semen samples and medical information, the study aims to find ways to predict and prevent fertility problems, helping you make informed decisions about your fertility and family planning.

This study looks at how cancer treatments affect fertility in people diagnosed between ages 15 and 39. It aims to understand the impact on fertility and the success of fertility preservation methods, which could help improve future care.
This study looks at how treatments that can harm ovaries or testicles (like certain chemotherapy, radiation, and immune therapies) may affect fertility. It may help you and others by measuring hormone levels (and in some cases sperm) before and during/after treatment.
This study follows young female cancer patients to see how cancer treatments may affect their ovaries, fertility, and future pregnancies. It also looks at how well fertility preservation methods (like egg or embryo freezing) work, with the goal of improving fertility care for future patients.
This trial studies how doctors collect and freeze a small piece of testicle tissue from boys to protect future fertility before treatments like chemotherapy or radiation. It may help families preserve options for having children later if testicular function is permanently affected.
This study checks how well fertility preservation methods work for patients who might lose their ability to have children due to illness or treatments like strong medicines or surgery. If you're interested in saving your fertility, this trial helps figure out how successful those options can be.
This study helps collect and freeze testicle tissue for people who must have surgery, chemotherapy, medicines, or radiation that could permanently harm fertility. You may join if you’re newly diagnosed or need planned treatment that threatens testicular function, and you agree to long-term follow-up.
