Fertility after radiotherapy
Andrologie volume 6, pages 415–420 (1996)
Resume
La radiothérapie fait partie de l'arsenal thérapeutique de la cancérologie. De jeunes patients sont traités pour maladie de Hodgkin ou pour tumeurs testiculaires entraînant des troubles de la fertilité. Notre article se propose de faire la revue de la littérature concernant la fertilité après radiothérapie et d'insister sur l'information des patients ainsi que la prévention.
Abstract
It is now well established that fertility of of young patients is compromised after the radiotherapy treatment for malignant diseases. This paper summarizes the main data concerning the fertility of young patients after radiotherapy treatment. The information of the patients as well as the prevention are the subject of this review.
