→Cervical cancer / penile cancer: Wikify.
[[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 [[foreskinned]] men through the transmission of [[smegma]]. This relationship has been rejected by researchers as scientifically implausible."<ref>{{REFweb
