Impact of taxane-based chemotherapeutics on male reproductive function
in Reproduction and FertilityLay Summary of Letter
Men and boys with cancer treated with chemotherapy are known to have reduced fertility following their treatment. This is because some chemotherapy drugs can damage the cells in the testicles that make sperm. This study found there is limited information available on the effect of one group of chemotherapy drugs, called taxanes, on testicular function and fertility. More studies are needed to aid clinicians in advising patients on how this taxane-based chemotherapy may affect their future fertility.
Reproduction and Fertility is committed to supporting researchers in demonstrating the impact of their articles published in the journal.
As an open-access journal, Reproduction and Fertility articles are immediately available to read on publication, without restriction. The two types of article metrics we measure are (i) more traditional full-text views and pdf downloads, and (ii) Altmetric data, which shows the wider impact of articles in a range of non-traditional sources, such as social media.
