aumentati, mentre il testosterone rimane a livelli normali. Alcuni autori riportano una<br />
diminuzione della libido nel 70% dei pazienti sottoposti a chemioterapia e il 40% mantiene il<br />
disturbo anche dopo la sospensione della terapia; mentre l’impotenza sembra essere un sintomo<br />
transitorio (19, 21, 22).<br />
Tra i vari farmaci impiegati è la ciclofosfamide quella che sembra avere gli effetti maggiori<br />
sulla funzione testicolare con produzione di azoospermia persistente; Kreuser in un lavoro del<br />
1988 riportava nel follow -up a 11 anni azoospermia nel 100% dei casi trattati con COOP<br />
(ciclofosfamide, vinvristina, procarbazina, prednisone) (23).<br />
Schemi terapeutic i con ABVD (adriamicina, bleomicina, vinblastina, decarbazina)<br />
producono oligozoospermia e azoospermia con recessione completa dopo 1 anno dalla fine del<br />
trattamento.<br />
