Abstract
After abdominal irradiation for testicular tumor, 18 of 273 patients reported 22 successful pregnancies. Their progeny are clinically normal. Sperm counts were obtained from 8 of these, but did not appear to correlate at all with their proven fertility. Thirty-six other patients had either serial or solitary sperm counts and a pattern of response was detectable, although individual responses varied.This publication has 9 references indexed in Scilit:
