Objective To explore the associations between semen characteristics and subsequent risk of testicular cancer. Design Cohort study Participants 32 442 men who had a semen analysis done at the Sperm Analysis Laboratory in Copenhagen during 1963-95. Main outcome measure Standardised incidence ratios of testicular cancer compared with total population of Danish men. Results Men in couples with fertility problems were more likely to develop testicular cancer than other men (89 cases, standardised incidence ratio 1.6; 95% confidence interval 1.3 to 1.9). The risk was relatively constant with increasing time between semen analysis and cancer diagnosis. Analysis according to specific semen characteristics showed that low semen concentration (standardised incidence ratio 2.3), poor motility of the spermatozoa (2.5), and high proportion of morphologically abnormal spermatozoa (3.0) were all associated with an increased risk of testicular cancer. The only other cancer group that showed ina eased incidence was peritoneum and other digestive organs (six cases; 3.7, 1.3 to 8.0). Of these, two cases were probably and two cases were possibly extragonadal germ cell rumours. Conclusions The results point towards the existence of common aetiological factors for low semen quality and testicular cancer. Low semen quality may also be associated with increased incidence of extragonadal germ cell tumours.
