Penile cancer : The same viruses that cause cervical cancer in women cause penile cancer in men. Some studies suggest that circumcised men are at much lower risk than uncircumcised men. However, circumcision has no bearing on the reasons to get the hpv vaccine. The reason to get it is that it can reduce the transmission of hpv. The will lead to decreased cervical cancer, so men, demand your guardacil!
