Must say I have often wondered if there was a link.
Glad the article got to this point:
“In this study, 16 out of every 1,000 men developed lethal prostate cancer over 24 years of follow-up. Thus, the result that vasectomy was linked to a 20% raised risk of lethal prostate cancer, is relative to that 16 out of 1,000.”
Its a warning from mother nature don’t mess with her
Not relevant,not as important as breast cancer.
Even though I agreed to have it done, I felt deep-down (not just religiously), that it was the wrong thing to do. I definitely regret it now.

He underwent radical treatment and his PSA numbers dropped below one and stayed there for about 7 years then climbed up over to over 10 and then started spiking. The doctors had told him when they saw his numbers drop to near zero that it would likely climb again but that he would most likely die of other causes. He was otherwise much healthier than they gave him credit for the Prostate in his last year and a half went back into his pelvic bone and he was on Chemo and a new drug Zytiga I think was the name about the last three months but it made him too sick to take it. In the last 2-3 months of his life it hit his brain. He died at age 83. Not so long ago many if not most men didn't live into their 80's and early to mid 70's was about the norm for non smokers. They likely had Prostate Cancer of some form and died from other unrelated issues.
I'd say if they made a study they would also link high testosterone levels to more probability and it would also make treatment more difficult as that is what Prostate cancer feeds on to grow. How much? Who knows.
