Processed Meat Intake and Bladder Cancer Risk in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) Cohort

Abstract: Background: The association between processed meat intake and bladder cancer risk has been evaluated by several observational studies with inconsistent results.Methods: In a cohort of 101,721 subjects in the Prostate, Lung, Colorectal, and Ovarian (PLCO) Cancer Screening Trial, we analyzed the association of processed meat intake with bladder cancer risk.Results: After a median of 12.5 years of follow-up, 776 new cases of bladder cancer were identified. Intake of processed red meat was significantly associated… Show more

“…After excluding 7 deaths prior to completion of the DHQ, 16 cases without the completion date of the DHQ, 3,039 cases skipping ≥8 food frequency questions and 2,179 cases of extreme energy intake, there were 106,435 participants completing the eligible DHQ. Finally 92,984 cases were included into the analytical dataset after excluding 4,354 deaths or cancer cases diagnosed prior to the date of DHQ and 9,097 cases of missing necessary covariates (alcohol intake, smoking status, pack-years of smoking, body mass index (BMI), education, diabetes history, and family history of lung cancer) (13). The flow diagram describing the population selection process was listed in Figure 1A.…”

“…A small proportion (5-6%) of bladder cancers arise from occupational exposure [ 4 ]. Less-established risk factors for bladder cancers include diabetes [ 5 ], lack of physical activity [ 6 ], obesity [ 7 ], nulliparity [ 8 ] and high consumption of processed red meat [ 9 ].…”

“…However, this association with red meat consumption could only be observed among case‐control studies. More recently, this association was confirmed by a cohort study 41 . The effect of meat consumption may be explained by the carcinogenic compounds that are produced during the cooking and processing of meat, which includes nitrate, nitrite, heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons.…”

“…More recently, this association was confirmed by a cohort study. 41 The effect of meat consumption may be explained by the carcinogenic compounds that are produced during the cooking and processing of meat, which includes nitrate, nitrite, heterocyclic amines and polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons. Since these compounds are excreted in the urine, they come in close contact with the inner lining of the bladder wall which may exert a carcinogenic effect on urothelial cells.…”
