Circumcision Lowers Prostate Cancer Risk
Circumcision before a male’s first sexual intercourse may help protect against prostate cancer, a new study has found.
The study, conducted by researchers at Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center, suggests that circumcision can hinder infection and inflammation that may lead to this malignancy.
Infections are known to cause cancer, and research suggests that sexually transmitted infections may contribute to the development of prostate cancer.
Additionally, certain sexually transmitted infections can be prevented by circumcision.
Therefore, it stands to reason that circumcision should protect against the development of some cases of prostate cancer.
This is what lead author Jonathan L. Wright, MD, an affiliate investigator in the Hutchinson Center”s Public Health Sciences Division, and his colleagues set out to test.
For their study, the investigators analysed information from 3,399 men (1,754 with prostate cancer and 1,645 without). Men who had been circumcised before their first sexual intercourse were 15 per cent less likely to develop prostate cancer than uncircumcised men.
This reduced risk applied for both less aggressive and more aggressive cancers. (Specifically, men circumcised before their first sexual intercourse had a 12 per cent reduced risk for developing less aggressive prostate cancer and an 18 per cent reduced risk for developing more aggressive prostate cancer.)
Sexually transmitted infections may lead to prostate cancer by causing chronic inflammation that creates a hospitable environment for cancer cells.
Other mechanisms may also be involved. Circumcision may protect against sexually transmitted infections, and therefore prostate cancer, by toughening the inner foreskin and by getting rid of the moist space under the foreskin that may help pathogens survive.
“These data are in line with an infectious/inflammatory pathway which may be involved in the risk of prostate cancer in some men,” Wright said.
“Although observational only, these data suggest a biologically plausible mechanism through which circumcision may decrease the risk of prostate cancer. Future research of this relationship is warranted,” he added.
The study has been published online in Cancer.

Some diseases are for the whites Africans are resistant to some of these diseases. HIV was made in a lab in Western countries and Syphilis came from Asia especially China. If you watch Zone Reality do see how fat our friends are bcoz of GMO and junk foods ? Talk of their experiments or whatever research is suitable for them not us. Africa is a store room for human experiments do you recall EBOLA? why didnt it come to Zambia ? Ya we are circumcised for hygienal purposes not a mandate for prevention of whatever .For women be careful with the creams you apply inside

I still believe there is a hiden agenda behind the popular MC song. Coz hygenecally pussy can’t be compared to dick so that is invalid reason too. Dick is not a brewer of STIs but pussy is.

@Air Mukwai your response beat my understand. What gear are you talking about. Another thing my friend, a circumcised dick remains erect even after pouring. So you can chop all nigh long till the chick says, “Nalapila nshakabwekeshepo.” But the following day she is asking for a chop. Ikali mutilated bakaamba!

Dear all Zambians.Please heed my advice.Circumcision does not protect us from dieses.Instead it promotes us to be promiscuos.And doesn’t make sex enjoyable.
Iam against it.
