[Changes in serum hormones and the spermiogram in patients with malignant testicular tumors following radiation and cytostatic drug therapy].
In 53 patients suffering from testicular cancer it was reviewed whether the changes of spermatogenesis due to radiation or chemotherapy are reflected by the sexual hormones (FSH, LH, T). After both therapeutic measures a reduction of the number of spermatic cells and volume of sperm was demonstrated. The reduction of spermatic cells was followed by a simultaneous increase of FSH and LH levels, whereas the testosterone level did remain normal.
