RESUMEN
Objetivo: determinar el efecto de la combinación de la quimioterapia en la calidad de los espermatozoides nuevos de pacientes con cáncer testicular avanzado y pacientes con linfoma de Hodgkin.
Diseño: estudio prospectivo longitudinal.
Ubicación: unidad académica.
Pacientes: pacientes con cáncer testicular metastásico de reciente diagnóstico y con linfoma de Hodgkin que requerían quimioterapia, en comparación con voluntarios sanos de la comunidad pareados por edad.
Intervención: ninguna.
Criterio de valoración primario: se compararon los parámetros seminales, concentraciones hormonales, volumen testicular y presencia de fragmentos de ADN en pacientes con cáncer y en voluntarios sanos de la comunidad, antes y después de la quimioterapia de los pacientes a los 6, 12, 18 y 24 meses.
Resultados: antes de la quimioterapia, ambos grupos de cáncer tuvieron mala calidad seminal en comparación con los voluntarios de la comunidad. Entre los pacientes con cáncer testicular y linfoma de Hodgkin, 67 y 60%, respectivamente, tuvieron ‹ 5 x 10
6 espermatozoides/mL a los seis meses después de la quimioterapia. A los 24 meses, 60 y 57% de los pacientes con cáncer testicular y linfoma de Hodgkin, respectivamente, tuvieron concentraciones espermáticas normales. La concentración de FSH fue significativamente más alta en el grupo de cáncer, en comparación con los voluntarios de la comunidad a los 6 y 12 meses después de la quimioterapia. Antes de la quimioterapia, el daño al ADN espermático fue mayor en el grupo de cáncer que en los voluntarios de la comunidad; este daño aumentó aún más a los seis meses y se mantuvo elevado 24 meses después del tratamiento.
Conclusiones: el esperma generado después de la quimioterapia mantuvo un grado significativo de daño a la cromatina. Por tanto, los supervivientes de cáncer testicular y linfoma de Hodgkin están en riesgo de tener un desenlace reproductivo anormal. Se recomienda abordar apropiadamente los riesgos reproductivos y la preservación de la fertilidad antes de la quimioterapia en estos pacientes.
