How far in advance must this alleged cancer be prevented justifies surgical removal of the tissue that may one day cause cancer? You're not preventing cancer in children because the mean age of onset of penile cancer is 67 years of age and even then it's about 1 in 100,000 men who will ever contract it at all. Roughly 1.8 million baby boys are born each year, which translates to an expected 18 cases of penile cancer 60+ years from now.

Also keep in mind that the surgery is not risk-free. A study in Toronto found over a 14 year period 1 in 10,000 neonatal circumcisions resulted in complications requiring hospitalization and one in 83,000 resulted in DEATH. Let that sink in: More babies died from circumcision in the Toronto area than would be expected to ever even get penile cancer, let alone die from it.

Talk about the cure being worse than the disease.
