“…Among four cohort studies, three reported no significant association in drinkers as compared with nondrinkers (Mills et al, 1991;Chyou et al, 1993;Djousse et al, 2004), whereas the Netherlands Cohort Study (Zeegers et al, 2001c), including 517 male and 77 female cases, found an increased risk in men (smoking-adjusted relative risk, RR = 1.63 for Z 30 g/day) but not in women (smoking-adjusted RR = 0.75 for Z 5 g/day). Most casecontrol studies found no significant association between alcohol drinking and bladder cancer (Wynder et al, 1963;Morgan and Jain, 1974;Wynder and Goldsmith, 1977;Howe et al, 1980;Cartwright et al, 1981;Najem et al, 1982;Thomas et al, 1983;Kabat et al, 1986;Bravo et al, 1987;Brownson et al, 1987;Iscovich et al, 1987;Risch et al, 1988;Slattery et al, 1988;Nomura et al, 1989;Harris et al, 1990;Bruemmer et al, 1997;Yu et al, 1997;Pohlabeln et al, 1999;Geoffroy-Perez and Cordier, 2001;Pelucchi et al, 2002;Baena et al, 2006), whereas eight studies reported significantly increased risks (Mommsen et al, 1983;Claude et al, 1986;Akdas et al, 1990;Kunze et al, 1992;Momas et al, 1994;Murata et al, 1996;Donato et al, 1997;Lu et al, 2005) and one found inverse associations (Jiang et al, 2007). The latter, a recent investigation conducted in Los Angeles County on 1586 pairs of cases and controls, found a decreased risk of bladder cancer in individuals with both high...…”

The objective was to review epidemiological studies that evaluated the association between consumption of coffee and alcohol and urinary bladder cancer. We searched the Medline database for observational studies of bladder neoplasms that included information on coffee or alcohol drinking, and looked for papers quoted as references in reviews of risk factors for bladder cancer and in studies that had been selected for inclusion. Results from epidemiological studies allow excluding a strong association between coffee and bladder cancer. Several studies reported a moderate increase in risk in coffee drinkers as compared with nondrinkers, but no trend with dose has been established. Epidemiological data on alcohol drinking and bladder cancer are suggestive of no association, although findings were not always consistent. For both habits, an explanation of the moderate increase in risk observed in some investigations might be attributed to residual confounding by smoking, or to an association between alcohol, coffee, and yet unidentified risk factors for bladder cancer.

“…In our study, most drinkers (82.3 percent) used ground regular (nondecaffeinated) coffee, whereas instant coffee is predominant in other countries such as the UK. 43 The role of coffee in bladder carcinogenesis could depend on the type of coffee; in the present investigation, only drinkers of regular ground coffee have bladder cancer ORs higher than one. The other drinkers did not seem to be at risk for bladder cancer, but the small numbers of subjects in these categories do not allow firm conclusions to be drawn.…”

In the Mediterranean region of France where bladder cancer mortality and incidence are high, a case-control study with 219 male incident cases and 794 randomized, male population-controls was carried out in 1987-89 to investigate bladder cancer risk factors and more specifically, regional factors. A stepwise logistic regression was applied to the data. This investigation confirms the role of tobacco and of certain occupational exposures in bladder carcinogenesis. There was a significant dose-response relationship with lifelong coffee drinking and alcohol consumption; however the risk estimates were only significantly elevated for the heaviest drinkers. The intake of saccharin was not associated with risk of bladder cancer. Infrequent consumption of carrots, spinach, and marrows conferred an increased risk, suggesting a protective effect of vitamin A. Finally, this investigation results in some new hypotheses. The study of residences and birthplaces has revealed a lower risk for those who have lived in a non-Mediterranean area and a higher risk for those born in a Mediterranean area. These features might be explained by some Mediterranean dietary habits, such as a high consumption of spices (odds ratio = 3.64, 95 percent confidence interval = 2.21-5.98).

SUMMARY Data are presented on a group of cases of primary carcinoma of the bladder, detailing red cell surface blood group antigenic phenotypes, serum haptoglobin phenotypes, and some red cell isoenzyme phenotypes. Account is taken of the stage of the disease at presentation. The results are compared with corresponding phenotype frequencies in groups of presumed healthy persons originating either in Yorkshire or County Durham. Differences in relative incidences were found in the haptoglobin, phosphoglucomutase (PGM), and some other systems. These are both differences between all cases and controls and between particular stages at presentation and controls.
