Description

According to diagnosis, treatment received and occurrence of any testicular pathology, patients were divided into two groups: NT: untreated cancer patients without any preexisting (congenital) risk factors for impaired testicular function; AT: patients with potentially affected tissues by disease or treatment. The average age of the patients in NT and AT group is not significantly different (9.1 and 9.5 years, respectively).

* Patients with low spermatogonial counts and a patient with germ cell neoplasia in situ (AT21) were excluded from further analysis. Testicular volumes were determined by palpation using a Prader orchidometer and additionally confirmed by ultrasonography. # Indicates one patient for whom testicular volume was only determined by Prader orchidometer.
