Question Circumcision

Cancers - HPV and Penile:

  • You can get cancer in any part of your body but the penis is the only thing we mutilate to try to prevent it. 
  • Statistics show that your son is more likely to die from his circumcision than to get penile cancer. 
  • A man has a higher chance of developing breast cancer than he does penile cancer. 
  • On the rare chance an intact  man were to develop cancer of the penis he can be circumcised to have the cancer removed. 
  • If an already circumcised man develops penile cancer he can lose his whole penis, instead of simply being circumcised, depending on the location of the cancer. 
  • Cutting off a large portion of the penis (foreskin) lowers his risk of getting penile cancer because he has less penis, therefor less to become cancerous. 
  • He can avoid this cancer altogether by a full amputation if that's the goal. 
  • "The American Cancer Society does not consider routine circumcision to be a valid or effective measure to prevent such cancers. Penile cancer is an extremely rare condition, affecting one in 200,000 men. Perpetrating the mistaken belief that circumcision prevents cancer is inappropriate.'". 
  • The American Medical Association, in a July 2000 report, states, “… because this disease [penile cancer] is rare and occurs later in life, the use of circumcision as a preventive practice is not justified.”.
