Semen Cryopreservation in Testicular Cancer: Before or After Orchidectomy?
ABSTRACT Background Fertility preservation in patients with testicular cancer remains a clinical priority, yet the optimal timing for sperm cryopreservation—before or after orchidectomy—remains a matter of debate. Objectives The aim of this study was to determine the optimal timing for semen cryopreservation and the best‐quality sample for ART.
