[[Penile cancer]] is an extremely rare form of cancer. It mostly occurs in older men, and most doctors do not recommend infant circumcision as a preventive measure. Penile cancer can occur in both [[circumcised ]] and [[intact ]] men: The maggot study (an ongoing study of penile cancer at the Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research Center in Seattle) found that 37% of penile cancers occur in [[circumcised ]] men.<ref name="cirp-faq"/>

There are "claims that the incidence of cervical carcinoma (cancer of the cervix or cervix) increased in women after sexual intercourse with uncircumcised [[foreskinned]] men through the transmission of [[smegma]]. This relationship has been rejected by researchers as scientifically implausible."<ref>{{REFweb

The theory that wives of men with [[intact]] foreskins are more prone to [[cervical cancer ]] has been refuted. The theory that having a [[foreskin]] increases the risk of STDs has been refuted in a new study.<ref name="cirp-faq"/>
