On one hand, it is well-established that patients diagnosed with TC have a high risk of pre- and post-treatment infertility. On the other hand, the risk of developing TC in male infertile patients is not clearly defined. The objective of this review is to analyze the histopathological, etiological, and epidemiological associations between MI and the risk of developing testicular cancer. This review aims to provide further insights and offer a guide for assessing the risk factors for TC in infertile men. Materials and Methods: A comprehensive literature search was conducted to identify relevant studies discussing the relationship between MI and the risk of developing TC. Results: The incidence rates of germ cell neoplasia in situ (GCNIS) appear to be high in infertile men, particularly in those with low sperm counts. Most epidemiological studies have found a statistically significant risk of developing TC among infertile men compared to the general or fertile male populations. The concept of Testicular Dysgenesis Syndrome provides an explanatory model for the common etiology of MI, TC, cryptorchidism, and hypospadias. Clinical findings such as a history of cryptorchidism could increase the risk of developing TC in infertile men. Scrotal ultrasound evaluation for testis lesions and microlithiasis is important in infertile men. Sperm analysis parameters can be useful in assessing the risk of TC among infertile men. In the future, sperm and serum microRNAs (miRNAs) may be utilized for the non-invasive early diagnosis of TC and GCNIS in infertile men. Conclusions: MI is indeed a risk factor for developing testicular cancer, as demonstrated by various studies. All infertile men should undergo a risk assessment using clinical examination, ultrasound, and semen parameters to evaluate their risk of TC.<\/jats:p>","DOI":"10.3390\/medicina59071305","type":"journal-article","created":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,14]],"date-time":"2023-07-14T09:03:53Z","timestamp":1689325433000},"page":"1305","update-policy":"https:\/\/doi.org\/10.3390\/mdpi_crossmark_policy","source":"Crossref","is-referenced-by-count":41,"title":["Male Infertility and the Risk of Developing Testicular Cancer: A Critical Contemporary Literature Review"],"prefix":"10.3390","volume":"59","author":[{"given":"Giuseppe","family":"Maiolino","sequence":"first","affiliation":[{"name":"Department of Medicine and Surgery, Urology Clinic, University of Perugia, 06129 Perugia, Italy"},{"name":"LYX Institute of Urology, Faculty of Medicine, Universidad Francisco de Vitoria, 28223 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-2602-2617","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Esa\u00fa","family":"Fern\u00e1ndez-Pascual","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LYX Institute of Urology, Faculty of Medicine, Universidad Francisco de Vitoria, 28223 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Urology, Hospital Universitario La Paz, 28046 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Mario Alberto","family":"Ochoa Arvizo","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LYX Institute of Urology, Faculty of Medicine, Universidad Francisco de Vitoria, 28223 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Urology, Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro-Majadahonda, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, 28222 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"ORCID":"https:\/\/orcid.org\/0000-0002-6784-2830","authenticated-orcid":false,"given":"Ranjit","family":"Vishwakarma","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LYX Institute of Urology, Faculty of Medicine, Universidad Francisco de Vitoria, 28223 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]},{"given":"Juan Ignacio","family":"Mart\u00ednez-Salamanca","sequence":"additional","affiliation":[{"name":"LYX Institute of Urology, Faculty of Medicine, Universidad Francisco de Vitoria, 28223 Madrid, Spain"},{"name":"Department of Urology, Hospital Universitario Puerta de Hierro-Majadahonda, Universidad Aut\u00f3noma de Madrid, 28222 Madrid, Spain"}],"role":[{"vocabulary":"crossref","role":"author"}]}],"member":"1968","published-online":{"date-parts":[[2023,7,14]]},"reference":[{"key":"ref_1","doi-asserted-by":"crossref","first-page":"692","DOI":"10.1002\/ijc.33999","article-title":"Global patterns in testicular cancer incidence and mortality in 2020","volume":"151","author":"Znaor","year":"2022","journal-title":"Int.
