Does Circumcision Prevent Cervical Cancer?
A 2007 article in AssociatedContent Health and Wellness regarding the myth of male circumcision preventing cervical cancer. The article describes the history of research on circumcision and cervical cancer. The various studies are consdered and flaws are pointed out that make the results questionable. It is significant that the American Cancer Society does not identify circumcision status as a risk factor for cervical cancer. Neither does Cancer Research UK., which advises that, if "uncircumcised men are careful about keeping their genitals clean, the risk of cervical cancer in their partners should not be any greater than that for circumcised men."
