[The sexual future of patients cured of testicular cancer].
The sexual future of patients cured of testicular cancer is a legitimate preoccupation due to the high rate of successful treatment for this disease. The psychological and functional aspects and the fertility before and after treatment of operated patients are reviewed and the least harmful solution is proposed for each handicap. The question of induction of new cancers by chemotherapy remains unanswered; a number of years of follow-up will be required before an answer can be proposed.
