title: Pregnancy following gamete intra-fallopian transfer (GIFT) with cryopreserved semen from infertile men following therapy to lymphomas or testicular tumour: report of three cases.
abstract: Cryopreserved spermatozoa from men having treatment for lymphoma or testicular tumour have been reported to function sub-optimally. We report on three successful pregnancies following gamete intra-Fallopian transfer (GIFT) using such cryopreserved sperm samples. In one case, ovum donation was required since the woman had premature ovarian failure.
