Review Title: Bladder cancer carcinogens: Opportunities for risk reduction
Abstract: Bladder cancer at an individual level is likely to be the consequence of repeated, long-term exposure to one or more known bladder carcinogens, some of which are endemic or unavoidable in daily life, in addition to host factors. This Mini-Review highlights exposures that are associated with higher risk of bladder cancer, summarizes the evidence for each association, and suggests strategies to decrease risk at both individual and population levels. Patient summary: Tobacco smoking, exposure to certain chemicals in your diet, environment, or workplace, urinary infections, and certain medications can increase your risk of bladder cancer. © 2023 European Association of Urology
