Abstract
Even if there is a weak association between vasectomy and subsequent p rostate cancer, we believe that large-scale studies on this question s hould be of low priority in developing countries where vasectomy is wi dely practised and where the incidence of prostate cancer is low. Argu ments to justify this point of view are presented.
