Circumcision May Reduce Prostate Cancer Risk, Study Shows
Men who undergo circumcision may have a decreased risk of developing prostate cancer, according to a new study. The finding suggests that the removal of the foreskin before a man first has sex may help protect against the disease -- the most common cancer in men in the United States.
In the paper, published online Monday in the journal Cancer, researchers looked at data from more than 1,700 men with prostate cancer and more than 1,640 without, collected in two separate studies. The men answered questions about their family and medical history and sexual experience. They also indicated whether or not they had been circumcised and, if so, at what age.
