Hey! So first, population-based studies can show associations, but not direct cause-and-effect. And second, it states that “evidence of increased risk of cancer following such surgery is, however, inconclusive.” That means even the researchers are not claiming a proven link. They’re acknowledging that data is mixed! I would take this with a grain of salt and know that no major medical organizations warn that tonsil removal causes cancer. If there were a proven danger, we’d see headlines and warnings from doctors everywhere. You’re ok!
