The Castlegar Sun Ann Landers Syndicated Columnist Dear Ann Landers: Thou sands of women are now sweat ing out unwanted pregnancies because the media led them to believe that vasectomies can cause cancer. This misleading conclusion was drawn after two studies reported in the Journal of the American Medical Association that there was a possible link between the sterilization proce- dure and prostate cancer, which is the second leading cause of cancer deaths among men. Thir- ty-two thousand men died of prostate cancer in the United States in 1991. That's the bad news. Now here is the good news According to a Reuters story, a prostate screening of 40,000 men has found NO evidence to support a possible link between cancer and vasectomies Dr. E. David Crawford, chair- man of the urology department at the University of Colorado, said the screening conducted last September during Prostate Cancer Awareness Week detected no increase in prostate cancer rates among the estimated 8,000. par- ticipants who had undergone vasectomies. So please spread the good news, Ann. Vasectomy does NOT cause cancer. — San Antonio Reader Dear San Antonio: Thank-you for a letter that could make a big difference * in the lives of a great many families.
