Epidemiological Case-Control Study on the Etiology of Bladder Cancer in Turkey

“…Frequency was another independent variable which influenced the Discussion Occupational risks for bladder cancer have been well defined by many authors and recently reviewed by Wal lace [5]. Bladder cancer risk is increased in chemical industry workers, leather workers, hairdressers, people involved in printing, machine tuning, aluminium refin ing, drivers and those exposed to diesel exhausts [5]. In this study, the diversity of occupations made statistical comparisons impossible.…”

“…The risk increased with the quantity of alcohol consumed, and people at high risk were the ones who drank more than 175 cm3 of a strong drink (containing equal or more than 40% distilled alcohol) per day (p < 0.001). Frequency was another independent variable which influenced the Discussion Occupational risks for bladder cancer have been well defined by many authors and recently reviewed by Wal lace [5].

Genetic factors in chemically‐induced transitional cell bladder cancer

“…1) [1,12]. The ban on the industrial production of 2‐naphthylamine and 4‐aminobiphenyl, combined with the development and implementation of certain safety standards to minimize any possible exposure to arylamines in the workplace, has resulted in a dramatic decline in the incidence of occupational bladder cancer worldwide [13,14]. Incriminated during the first half of the 20th century as the most harmful bladder carcinogens in occupationally induced tumours, 4‐aminobiphenyl and 2‐naphthylamine were, by the end of the century, also identified as by‐products of the pyrolysation process of various substances in cigarette smoke [1,10,12].…”

Occupational urothelial tumours: a regional case study

“…The role of occupational exposure to chemicals in the aetiology of bladder cancer has been studied extensively [ 1]. Reviews of this literature have provided estimates of the proportions of bladder tumours which might be attributed to such exposures [ 2–4] and an overview by Doll and Peto noted that ‘Figures of 10% in men and 5% in women ... are not likely to be far out’ [ 5].…”
