This study compared the pretreatment semen quality in patients with Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma with a group of healthy donors. We also examined the differences in prefreeze and postthaw semen quality among the different stages of Hodgkin's disease.
The study included 89 patients with Hodgkin's disease, 18 with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma, and 50 healthy sperm donors.
In patients with Hodgkin's disease, the prefreeze and postthaw semen characteristics were significantly lower than those of the healthy donors. Similar results also were seen in patients with non-Hodgkin's lymphoma. No significant differences in the prefreeze semen quality were seen in patients with different stages of cancer.
Patients with Hodgkin's disease and non-Hodgkin's lymphoma in our study had poor semen quality when compared with healthy donors both before and after cryopreservation. As cancer therapy significantly impairs reproductive potential, sperm banking should be offered to these men before the start of their therapy.
本研究比较了霍奇金病和非霍奇金淋巴瘤患者与一组健康供者的冻精前精液质量。我们还研究了霍奇金病不同分期患者冻精前和冻融后精液质量的差异。
本研究纳入89例霍奇金病患者、18例非霍奇金淋巴瘤患者和50例健康精子供者。
霍奇金病患者冻精前和冻融后的精液特征显著低于健康供者。非霍奇金淋巴瘤患者也有类似结果。不同癌症分期患者冻精前精液质量无显著差异。
在我们的研究中,与健康供者相比,霍奇金病和非霍奇金淋巴瘤患者在冷冻保存前后的精液质量均较差。由于癌症治疗会显著损害生殖潜能,应在这些男性开始治疗前为其提供精子库服务。
