The commonly believed notion that circumcised men cannot develop penile cancer can result in delays in diagnosis. Recent medical literature has failed to confirm the protective effect of circumcision on penile neoplasms. Physicians need to be aware that men circumcised after 1 month of age may be at higher risk for penile cancer than those never circumcised.
普遍认为包皮环切术男性不会患阴茎癌的观念可能导致诊断延迟。最近的医学文献未能证实包皮环切术对阴茎肿瘤的保护作用。医生需要意识到,1个月龄后接受包皮环切术的男性患阴茎癌的风险可能高于从未接受过包皮环切术的男性。
