LA ACTITUD ANTE EL PACIENTE AZOOSPERMICO: LA VISION DEL UROLOGO

El diagnóstico y tratamiento de la azoospermia sigue siendo uno de los retos más apasionantes en el conocimiento de la infertilidad; existen líneas de investigación prometedoras, como la espermatogénesis in vitro a partir de células precursoras y el autotrasplante de células criopreservadas en pacientes sometidos a tratamientos de radioterapia y quimioterapia.
