Degree of risk Treatment Common usage
High risk: prolonged azoospermia after treatment Total body irradiation Bone marrow transplantation, Stem cell transplantation (BMT/SCT)
Testicular radiation dose > 2.5 Gy in men Testicular cancer, ALL, NHL
Testicular radiation dose ≥ 6 Gy in boys ALL, NHL, sarcoma, germ cell tumours
Protocols containing procarbazine: COPP, MOPP (83% risk) [1], MVPP (97% risk) [1], ChIVPP, ChIVPP/EVA, MOPP/ABVD, COPP/ABVD (62% risk) [1] Hodgkin lymphoma
Alkylating chemotherapy for transplantation conditioning (cyclophosphamide, busulfan, melphalan)(70% risk) [1] BMT/SCT
Any alkylating agent (eg, procarbazine, nitrogen mustard, cyclophosphamide) + TBI (80-90% risk) [1], pelvic radiation, or testicular radiation Testicular cancer, BMT/SCT, ALL, NHL, sarcoma, neuroblastoma, Hodgkin lymphoma

Cumulative cisplatin dose < 400 mg/m2 Testicular cancer
Cumulative carboplatin dose ≤ 2 g/m2 Testicular cancer
Testicular radiation dose 1-6 Gy (as a result of scatter from abdominal/pelvic radiation) Wilms tumour, neuroblastoma
Low risk: temporary azoospermia after treatment Lower dose alkylating chemotherapy: ABVD (8% risk) [1], OEPA, NOVP, CHOP, COP Hodgkin lymphoma, NHL
Testicular radiation dose 0.2-0.7 Gy Testicular cancer
