The effect of vasectomy reversal on prostate cancer risk: International meta-analysis of 684,660 men with vasectomies

Evidence on the effect of vasectomy on prostate cancer is conflicting, with the issue of detection bias a key criticism. We examine the effect of vasectomy reversal on prostate cancer risk in a cohort of vasectomised men; evidence of a protective effect would be consistent with a harmful effect of vasectomy on prostate cancer risk, while nullifying the issue of detection bias.
