Scientists from Stanford have come to the conclusion that men suffering from infertility are more likely to develop cancer in them than other males..

The results of the study showed that men under the age of thirty with a diagnosis of azoospermia are 8 times more likely to become victims of cancer. Until now, science has known the link between male infertility and the development of testicular cancer, according to the author of the scientific work Michael Eisenberg, but new research has revealed the likelihood of developing other types of cancer as well..

Scientists came to this opinion after they analyzed clinical cases of several thousand men diagnosed with cancer.. A quarter of them suffered from azoospermia. Scientists suggest that the cause of the development of this disease is some kind of genetic disorder.. 25 percent of human genes are involved in the process of reproduction, which means that there are many genetic disorders in which men can develop azoospermia.

Taking into account the results obtained, Professor Eisenberg advises young people under the age of 30 to take tests in order to timely detect the development of cancer at the initial stage.
