This new book focuses on testicular biopsy and has been developed as a practical guide for pathologists. It is structured to facilitate the interpretation of testicular biopsies across all age groups: childhood, puberty, and adulthood.

In addition, its multidisciplinary approach makes it more than just a basic tool for pathologists, enabling descriptions that lead to comparable diagnoses. Pediatricians and surgeons can gain insights into the future development of the testis, while andrologists and assisted reproduction specialists can better understand the potential success of their techniques. The guide will also be valuable for clinical and research colleagues seeking new drugs or treatment combinations that are less toxic to the seminiferous epithelium, ultimately benefiting hematology and oncology patients who wish to become fathers after undergoing gonadotoxic therapies.
