Chemo's hidden legacy: study probes sperm damage in young men
NCT ID NCT07449832
First seen Jun 27, 2026 · Last updated Jun 27, 2026
Summary
This study looks at how chemotherapy for Hodgkin lymphoma may change men's sperm DNA and affect their fertility and the health of their future children. Researchers will study sperm samples from 50 men before and after treatment to find changes in DNA packaging and chemical tags. The goal is to better understand these long-term effects and help guide future care.
