Semen quality in patients with testicular cancer is associated with age and with greatly elevated levels of beta human chorionic gonadotropin

Andrology, EarlyView.
Abstract Background Poor semen quality is a well‐known feature in patients with testicular germ cell tumours (GCTs) at the time of diagnosis but the underlying biological reasons are incompletely understood. Objectives This study aimed to identify GCT‐specific clinical factors that are involved with poor semen quality in GCT patients.
