Presence of SARS-CoV-2 (COVID-19) in Semen: Impact on Fertility Preservation in Male Oncological Patients ?
Sponsor: University Hospital, Clermont-Ferrand
Summary
During the COVID-19 pandemic, the French Agency of Biomedicine has recommended maintaining fertility preservation for patients requiring immediate oncological treatments exhibiting gonadotoxic effects. However, no study has examined the presence of SARS-CoV-2 in sperm from cancer patients. This study aims therefore to detect the presence of SARS-CoV-2, specifically in the seminal fluid and the spermatozoa fractions of cancer patient semen. The investigators will determine if the virus presence in sperm is associated with its presence in the nasal swabs, COVID symptoms, specific serological profiles and particular oncological pathologies/treatments.

Interventions
SARS-CoV-2 research in nasopharyngeal swab, sperm and serologics
a nasopharyngeal swab for SARS-CoV-2 research by RT- qPCR will be performed on the day of semen collection. On the same day, serological tests will be carried out, and 30 to 50 days after, according to HAS specifications with methods validated by the National Reference Center
