Vasectomy and testicular cancer. Is there a link?

My dh is considering a vasectomy (and i'm grateful!) My worry is that a friend told me she'd heard about a link between vasectomy and testicular cancer. Does anyone know about this?

Gulp...I'd better do some more research then. Have just been reading an old thread about the effectiveness of vasectomy compared to other forms of contraception. Its so much safer (plus i can't stand the thought of going into hospital myself for the female version - childbirth was enough for me!)

The female version is much less effective, if that helps you decide.
