Cervical cancer / penile cancer: Wikify.
=== Cervical cancer / penile cancer ===
[[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 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"/>
