About this trial
The "Testicular Tissue Cryopreservation" study is open to a subset of patients facing disease or treatment regimens that could lead to infertility (gonadotoxic therapies). For some of these patients, experimental testicular tissue cryopreservation is the only fertility preservation option available. The overall objective of this study is to determine the feasibility and acceptability of testicular tissue cryopreservation in male patients of all ages who have a condition or will undergo a treatment that can cause infertility.
