Resumo: Two cases of successful pregnancy following semen banking before chemotherapy in cancer patients are described. In the first case, a 20 year-old patient had his semen cryopreserved after testicular cancer was diagnosed; 12 years later semen thawing was performed and used in in vitro fertilization/intracytoplasmic sperm injection (IVF/ICSI), resulting in a singleton pregnancy, uneventful prenatal with a term delivery. The second case, a 33 year-old patient had his semen cryopreserved before chemo-/radiotherapy for peripheral neuro-ectodermal tumor. These cases give support for semen banking, even for long period of time, especially men whose fertility in the future could be compromised by spermatogenesis suppression secondary to chemo- and radiotherapy administration. Using ICSI, a cryopreserved semen has a higher chance to cause pregnancy, especially in patients with little vital sperm. Cryopreserving of a single ejaculate previous to radio/chemotherapy could preserve fertility without compromising the oncological therapy. We can not forget recent successful achievements in the cryopreservation of ovarian tissue in cancer management of young females.

No primeiro caso, o paciente teve o sêmen congelado aos 20 anos de idade, ao ser diagnosticado câncer de testículo; 12 anos depois, foi descongelado e usado para fertilização in vitro/injeção intracitoplasmática de espermatozóide (FIV/ICSI), resultando em gravidez única, com nascimento a termo, sem complicações no pré-natal. No segundo caso, o paciente teve seu sêmen congelado aos 33 anos, antes da rádio-/quimioterapia para tumor neuro-ectodérmico primitivo do couro cabeludo. Estes casos dão sustentação à estocagem de sêmen, mesmo por um longo período, para homens cujo futuro de sua fertilidade possa ser comprometido através da supressão da espermatogênese secundária à administração de rádio e quimioterapia. O advento da ICSI veio aumentar a possibilidade de o sêmen criopreservado permitir uma gravidez, especialmente em pacientes com pequena quantidade de espermatozóides congelados. O armazenamento de um único ejaculado prévio ao início do tratamento com rádio-/quimioterapia pode preservar a fertilidade sem comprometimento do tratamento oncológico. Não podemos esquecer também de recentes sucessos na criopreservação de tecido ovariano na abordagem das jovens com câncer.INCA2004-06-30info:eu-repo/semantics/articleinfo:eu-repo/semantics/publishedVersionRelato de Casoapplication/pdfhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/204410.32635/2176-9745.RBC.2004v50n2.2044Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 50 No. 2 (2004): Apr./May/June; 117-120Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; Vol. 50 Núm. 2 (2004): abr./mayo/jun.; 117-120Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia; v. 50 n. 2 (2004): abr./maio/jun.; 117-1202176-9745reponame:Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online)instname:Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)instacron:INCAporhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/article/view/2044/1262Schuffner, Alessandro Ramos, Leandro Stockler, Sandra Hernandes, Rosana Costa, Sérgio Centa, Lidio info:eu-repo/semantics/openAccess2021-11-29T20:33:20Zoai:rbc.inca.gov.br:article/2044Revistahttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revistaPUBhttps://rbc.inca.gov.br/index.php/revista/oairbc@inca.gov.br0034-71162176-9745opendoar:2021-11-29T20:33:20Revista Brasileira de Cancerologia (Online) - Instituto Nacional de Câncer José Alencar Gomes da Silva (INCA)false
