- Abstract
Young adults with differentiated thyroid cancer are treated with high doses of radioiodine and have an excellent long-term prognosis. However, there is limited information on the effects of this treatment on the gonads and fertility in male patients. We have reviewed the outcome of treatment in our centre with respect to male fertility. We have also assessed directly the radiation dose received by the testes.
