A recent study published in the Human Reproduction found the familial multicancer patterns among men with azoospermia and severe oligozoospermia by offering valuable insights into the heterogeneity of cancer risk within these subfertility groups. The research utilized extensive population data to analyze cancer risks among families of subfertile men.
This study involved a retrospective cohort of 786 subfertile men including azoospermic and severely oligozoospermic individuals who were matched with fertile population controls. The research identified family members up to third-degree relatives for both subfertile men and controls with over 337,754 individuals over a period from 1966 to 2017.
