“…We identified 28 studies on the risk of bladder cancer and tea consumption between 1980 and March 2012 [11,12,13,14,21,22,23,24,25,26,27,28,29,30,31,32,33,34,35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44]. After a closer examination, 10 studies were excluded due to lack of information [35,36,37,38,39,40,41,42,43,44].…”

A Meta-Analysis of Tea Consumption and the Risk of Bladder Cancer

et al. 2012

Objective: Previous studies on the association between tea consumption and bladder cancer risk have only illustrated contradictory results. The role of tea in bladder carcinogenesis still remains conflicting. In order to illustrate the potential relationship between tea consumption and bladder cancer, a meta-analysis of case-control and cohort studies was conducted. Methods: Eligible studies were retrieved via both computerized searches and review of references. Stratified analyses on types of tea, gender, study design, ethnicity and smoking status were performed. Fixed- or random-effect models were used to summarize the estimates of OR with 95% CIs. Results: Seventeen studies were eligible for our analysis. No statistical significance was detected between tea consumption and bladder cancer risk when comparing the highest with the lowest intake of tea (OR = 0.825, 95% CI 0.652–1.043). In the subgroup of green tea, we observed it illustrated a protective effect on bladder cancer (OR = 0.814, 95% CI 0.678–0.976). Conclusion: Our analysis indicated that green tea may have a protective effect on bladder cancer in Asian people. Further studies need to be conducted to better clarify the biological mechanisms.

“…Upon closer examination, sixteen articles did not provide sufficient information to estimate a summary odds ratio and its 95% confidence intervals [17][18][19][20][21][22], or a summary odds ratio adjusted for at least age, sex and smoking [23][24][25][26][27][28][29][30][31][32]. The remaining 19 articles [33][34][35][36][37][38][39][40][41][42][43][44][45][46][47][48][49][50][51] were chosen for detailed review.…”

“…Bladder cancer is the second most common malignancy of urinary tract cancer and fourth most frequent cancer diagnosed in men accounting for 7% of total cancers and the eight most common cancer in women in the United States (Demirel et al, 2008;Ozturk et al 2009). Lethality of the disease is in the tenth line for men and nineteenth line for women in Turkey while frequency among the women is three times higher than men (Health Ministry of Turkey, 2004).…”

Endothelial nitric oxide synthase (eNOS), encoded by the NOS3 gene, has been suggested to play an important role in uncontrolled cell growth in several cancer types. The objective of this study was to evaluate the role of the NOS3 Glu298Asp polymorphism in bladder cancer susceptibility in a Turkish population. We determined the genotypes of 66 bladder cancer cases and 88 healthy controls. Genotypes were determined by polymerase chain reaction-restriction fragment length polymorphism analysis. A significant association for NOS3 Glu298Asp heterozygotes genotypes and T allele were found between healthy controls and bladder cancer, respectively (p<0.001: p=0.002). There were no significant associations between any genotypes and the stage, grade, and histological type of bladder cancer. Our study suggested an increased risk role of NOS3 GT genotype in bladder cancer susceptibility in our Turkish population.

The association between personal habits and bladder cancer in Turkey

Abstract: We found that smoking and alcohol consumption are closely connected with bladder cancer. Our data showed that not inhaling the smoke was as much associated with bladder cancer as inhaling the smoke. The association between smoking and bladder cancer lasts after quitting smoking.
