Abstract
Male fertility can be temporarily or permanently affected by cancer in various ways. The disease process as well as treatments of cancer can impair the hypothalamic-pituitary-gonadal axis, the structural and functional integrity of the germinal epithelium, and male sexual function. This chapter discusses how cancer in males of reproductive age can cause or worsen male factor infertility through its pre-testicular, testicular, and post-testicular components.
