Maybe it's just a coincidence.

Let's say it is 1 in 400. That means out of 24,000,000 men, 23,940,000 will not get cancer to get your 60,000 number. And that is in a group that have lived since 1930. Should we circumcised all 24 million as invents just to prevent 60,000 circumcisions to remove the cancer when the guys are 50+ years old.
There really should be much better statistics out there. There are millions of guys in Europe living very similar lives to Americans. What are the cancer rates currently? What about STD rates? The problem is if you sleep with an uninfected partner, you aren't going to get an STD regardless of if you are circumcised or not.
