| description | The present investigation measured the association between vasectomy and prostate cancer (PC) in the male population of Québec, Canada. The Québec Health Insurance Board and the Québec Cancer Registry were our principal sources of information. Lung cancer cases and the male population of Québec served as controls for comparative purposes. Within a retrospective design, our preliminary results indicate an association between vasectomy and PC. Among the 1925–39 birth cohort of individuals diagnosed with PC in 1990–93, the global odds ratio was 2.6 (95% CI=1.7–4.3) while it was compared with lung cancer as the control group. This risk increased with the length of time between vasectomy and the diagnosis of cancer. An historical design indicated strong cohesion of the results. Besides, the risk does not vary when we control for the place of residence of the individuals. Vasectomy seems to increase the risk of PC at least 10 years after the operation, but we cannot exclude the impact of a possible detection bias among vasectomized individuals. |
