Abstract:
Past studies of the association of vasectomy and prostate
cancer have reported inconsistent results. Our objective was
to investigate whether vasectomy and time since vasectomy
are associated with a higher risk of prostate cancer. We conducted
a cross-sectional study on unduplicated records of >95 000
participants in a longitudinal study (1993-1995) of prostate
cancer screening conducted during Prostate Cancer Awareness
Week. Vasectomy was reported by 28%, and there were 2530 biopsies.
(chi)(2) tests and logistic regression analyses were used
and found that vasectomy and an increased length of time since
vasectomy are not associated with a higher risk of prostate
cancer
