I recently got cut and my urologist explained the link between the higher incidence of prostate cancer (and also a higher incidence of heart disease) - apparently the typical man who undergoes a vasecotmy is more affluent and has better health insurance than men who don't. There isn't really a higher incidence, there is a higher rate of detection due to generally better medical care - what those studies neglect to mention is that there is also a higher rate of successful treatment and recovery from prostate cancer and heart disease among men who have vasectomys.
BTW it was SO not a big deal...
