are circumcised men at higher risk of prostate cancer? codaclouds January 4, 2018 19 upvotes /r/MensRights so the thing is circumcision removes the mucousa and lymphatic vessels of the penis (http://www.norm.org/lost.html). these are major systems of elimination. there are no unimportant parts of the human body. so i wanted to find the statistics of prostate cancer in the us (mutilators) vs the uk (not mutilators). the most recent side by side stats i could find were from 2014. and, surprise, surprise: incidence of prostate cancer was much higher in american males with 172,258 cases in the us (https://www.cdc.gov/cancer/prostate/statistics/index.htm) vs 46.690 cases in the uk (http://www.cancerresearchuk.org/health-professional/cancer-statistics/statistics-by-cancer-type/prostate-cancer/incidence). i'm well aware that there will never be a properly conducted study on this, but what do you guys think?
