OBJECTIVE: To examine the outcome of assisted reproduction techniques (ART) using cryopreserved semen from @entity1 with @entity5 . DESIGN: Prospective. SETTING: Therapeutic semen banking program at a tertiary healthcare center. @entity1 (S): Twenty-nine @entity1 with @entity5 who cryopreserved their sperm before treatment at our facility from 1982 to 2001 and withdrew their samples for assisted reproduction (IUI, IVF, or intracytoplasmic sperm injection [ICSI]). INTERVENTION(S): Sperm bank records were used to identify the @entity1 . Information on fertility potential indices was obtained from medical records and through interviews. Of the 29 @entity1 , 9 had @entity5 , 12 had @entity978 , and 8 had other types of @entity5 . MAIN OUTCOME MEASURE(S): Pregnancy and live births. RESULT(S): A total of 87 ART cycles (42 IUI, 26 IVF, and 19 ICSI) was performed. Of those cycles, 18.3% resulted in pregnancy (7% IUI, 23% IVF, and 37% ICSI), and 75% of the pregnancies resulted in a live birth (100% IUI, 83% IVF, and 57% ICSI). There was no significant difference in the outcomes when the results were stratified by type of ART and @entity5 . None of the 11 @entity1 who were born had @entity154 . CONCLUSION(S): Our findings emphasize the need for physicians to discuss the issue of semen cryopreservation with all @entity1 of reproductive age who have @entity5 before antineoplastic therapy is started.
