A member asked:
Would it be very likely for a man to help conceive after radiation for cancer?
3 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Yes: Unless the testes were irradiated. If they were, hopefully he banked some sperms.

If the man: Had ability to impregnate before treatment for cancer, and if the field of radiotherapy was not near the pelvis, he is likely to be fertile still. A semen analysis solves the speculation.
