This seems to be the study, although I can't find egg-specific conclusions.*

It's interesting that eating chicken lowers risk of premature death:
"Lower risks associated with poultry. The study also suggests that eating poultry, including unprocessed chicken and turkey may lower the risk of developing advanced prostate cancer.
Specifically, Wang’s team found that men in the study who ate about 3.5 servings of poultry a week either before or after being diagnosed with prostate cancer, or both before and after, have a 10% to 20% lower risk of prematurely dying from all causes. It’s worth noting, however, that this benefit seems to be driven by unprocessed chicken and turkey sources, rather than slices such as lunch meat commonly used on sandwiches."

You might be reading more into that than the researchers intended. This is the closest they came to a recommendation:
" Our findings provide additional evidence that prostate cancer survivors should follow the nutrition guidelines limiting red and processed meat consumption to improve overall survival. Additional research on the relationship of specific meat types and mortality is needed. "
