“…One case-control study showed positive associations of bacon, ham, and sausage intake with bladder cancer risk in Japanese men but not in Japanese women or whites [17]. Three other case-control studies found an increased risk of bladder cancer associated with high intakes of red meat [18], pork [19], or fried meats [20]. No significant positive association between meat intake and bladder cancer risk was observed in five other case-control studies [21][22][23][24][25].…”

“…Thus, there is some evidence that effects of fluid intake on bladder cancer risk may be different for men and women, either because of biological differences or because of differences in type of fluid intake and/or voiding habits. Frequency of urination has rarely been studied in association with bladder cancer, but some evidence exists in favor of a protective effect of frequent voiding on bladder cancer [Braver et al, 1987;Kadlubar et al, 1991;Radosavljevic et al, 2004]. There is also little information about voiding habits by occupation and sex, but it has been observed that among both female teachers [Nygaard and Linder, 1997] and nurses [Bendtsen et al, 1991], suppressing the desire to void during working hours is common.…”

“…About 65% of bladder cancer in men and 30% of female cases in some developed countries are exposed to smoking. Cigarette smoking is the most risk factor for inducing bladder cancer (Radosavljević et al, 2004;Scélo and Brennan, 2007). Several studies showed that smokers were susceptible to a 209-fold to 308-fold increase in the risk for bladder cancer (Asgari et al, 2004;Zeegers et al, 2004).…”

Asian Pacific J Cancer Prev, 13 (10), [5053][5054][5055][5056] IntroductionUrinary bladder cancer occurs in all countries around the world, and it is the fifth most common cancer in the United States (Oberfield et al., 1996;Ben-Kasus et al., 2005;Yamada et al., 2010). Bladder cancer is the second most common malignancy of the genitourinary tract worldwide after prostate cancer. However, in Iran, it is the most common cancer of the genitourinary system and the third most common cancer in males. The incidence of bladder cancer is lower in Asia as compare to Western European and North America (Johansson and Cohen, 1997).Globally, approximately 336,000 new cases of bladder cancer occurred in 2000, two-thirds of which were in developed countries. Bladder cancer is the fourth most common cancer in males and the ninth most common in females (Lagwinski et al., 2007;Scélo and Brennan., 2007;Yavari et al., 2009). It accounts for 7% of all new cancer cases, in men and 2% in women (Carel et al., 1999). Bladder cancer is almost three to four times more common in men than in women in most populations (Parkin et al., 2005). This reflects the more frequent exposure of men to . Demographic data, including sex, age, residency and symptoms were investigated through careful review of medical records. Using a questionnaire protocol, several variables were assessed for these cases such as smoking, history of opium, vegetable consumption habits, and history of other cancers. Results: A total of 112 cases were analyzed, 98 (87.5%) in men and 14 (12.5%) in women (mean age of 68.0±14.6 years). Urban and rural residence were 60.7% and 39.3%. Tobacco and opium use were found in 45.5% and 21.4% of patients, respectively. Approximately 60% consumed vegetables an average of fewer than one time per day. Hematuria was the first symptom in these cases which were mainly diagnosed as having bladder cancer by ultrasonography. Conclusion: The results showed that bladder cancer tends to be found in the elderly and the male to female ratio is high. Macroscopic hematuria is a very important symptom for indicating probably urothelial tumor that should be followed up patients with transabdominal ultrasonography as a routine modality.

Non-Occupational Risk Factors for Bladder Cancer a Case-Control Study

Abstract: Consumption of liver, canned meat, pork (h vs l tertile) and vinegar (m vs l tertile) was indicated as a risk factor for bladder cancer, whereas frequent daily urination, consumption of fruit juices and cabbage (h vs l tertile) were indicated as protective factors.
