Figure 1 Sperm parameters in patients with cancer and community volunteers. Community volunteers (n = 9–11); patients with testicular cancer (n = 8–16); patients with Hodgkin lymphoma (n = 8–16). ∗Values significantly lower compared with community volunteers at each given time point (Mann-Whitney rank sum test; P≤.05). #Values significantly different compared with values at 0 months within each group (paired t-test or the Wilcoxon signed-rank test; P≤.05).
