Fertility preservation in male cancer patients. Counseling and reproductive outcomes.
Introduction: Advances in cancer treatments have determined an increase in survival rates. However, these lifesaving therapies may have a negative impact on reproductive health. To diminish the infertility risk; different fertility preservation strategies have been designed. Sperm freezing is the gold standard fertility preservation method in the case of post-pubertal men. The main objective of this study is to evaluate the fertility status of Uruguayan male cancer survivors who have gone through sperm freezing, as well as to assess oncofertility counseling received by these patients. Methods: This is a descriptive, cross-sectional, observational, and transversal study. A survey was conducted on male cancer survivors who cryopreserved sperm between 1985 and 2021 in "Reprovita Lab and Biobank" which is the only sperm bank in this country. Results: One hundred thirty-five participants answered the survey. At the time of diagnosis, the mean age of patients was 28.8 ± 6.4 years old. Testicular was the most frequent type of cancer (64%). Only, 12% (n = 15) already had children at the time of diagnosis. Among the interviewed survivors, 50% (n = 62) attempted to conceive after cancer treatment, and 68% (n = 42) achieved natural pregnancy. Patients who did not achieve spontaneous conception (n = 11), used their cryopreserved samples, and 45.4% achieved pregnancy. About 86% (n = 107) of survivors believed that the timing of oncofertility referrals was appropriate and 97% considered that having the possibility of protecting their fertility was very important. Eighty percent (n = 101), were advised by their attending physicians, 14% (n = 18) sought advice from family members or friends, and 4% (n = 5) from oncofertility specialists. Discussion: To our knowledge, this is the first study evaluating the reproductive outcomes of male cancer survivors in our country and the region. Most of the interviewed survivors considered fertility preservation as a positive initiative, independent of their reproductive outcomes, reflecting the importance of fertility preservation counseling as one of the most important aspects for futurequality of life of young cancer patients.

Background and PurposeRecent trials showed a clear benefit of mechanical thrombectomy for patients with emergent large vessel occlusion and large core infarction. However, limited number of patients were included in the late window. This study aimed to compare outcomes of low ASPECTS stroke patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy in the early versus late time window.MethodsA retrospective cohort study was conducted using data from the Stroke Thrombectomy and Aneurysm Registry (STAR) from 2013 to 2023. Patients with low ASPECTS (2-5) who underwent mechanical thrombectomy for ICA or M1 stroke were included. Patients were divided into early (within 6 hours) and late (6-24 hours) time window groups. The primary outcome was 90-day favorable outcome (modified Rankin Scale [mRS] score 0-3).ResultsAmong the 10,081 patients who underwent mechanical thrombectomy, 387 met the inclusion criteria. Of those, 219 (56.6%) were treated in the early window. Median (IQR) age was 70.4 (60-78) years, 180 (46.5%) were female, and 221 (68.4%) were White. There was no significant difference in successful recanalization rates (Thrombolysis in Cerebral Infarction [TICI] 2C/3) between the early and late window groups (56.6% versus 52.4%, P=0.478). Additionally, there was no significant difference in favorable outcomes at 90 days between the two groups (25.4% versus 35.9%, P=0.142). In Binary regression analysis, age (OR 0.94; 95% CI 0.92-0.97; P<0.001), admission NIHSS (OR 0.88; 95% CI 0.83-0.94; P<0.001), and successful recanalization (OR 4.01; 95% CI 1.94-8.71; P<0.001) were predictors of a favorable outcome at 90 days.ConclusionMechanical thrombectomy appears to carry a similar benefit profile among patients treated in the late window as those in the early window.

Read moreNational stroke management plan in Uruguay: Challenges and opportunities
Stroke accounts for 5.5% of the national Global Burden of Disease (GBD) and ~2,000 deaths per year in Uruguay. To respond to this medical emergency, the Ministry of Public Health (MPH) of Uruguay devised the National Stroke Plan (NSP). Scientific associations, universities, scholars, and patient organizations, both at the national and international levels, took part in the process, which ended with the generation of the national stroke management guidelines, including measures based on the best evidence available. This was accompanied by presidential regulatory decrees and several ordinances that set the foundations of the legal framework for their implementation as of 2020. Forty-two Stroke Ready Centers (SRC) and seven Comprehensive Stroke Centers (CSC) were strategically established and interlinked to ensure compliance with international accessibility recommendations, offering, in turn, the required training for their healthcare teams. A pre-hospital care protocol was also created for all countrywide mobile units. For NSP assessment, stroke was included as a “Care Goal (objective)” for the whole health system, providing the involved healthcare organizations with a financial incentive for compliance with the basic objectives related to the treatment of hyper acute stroke. The NSP came into force during the COVID-19 pandemic and, considering the special circumstances imposed, it made it possible to maintain hyper acute medical care and increase population access to recanalization treatment, particularly mechanical thrombectomy. The purpose of this article is to share our experience in the development of the NSP by describing some preliminary outcomes.
