Advances in the etiology of urothelial cancer

Urol Clin North Am. 1984 Nov;11(4):557-66.

Abstract

Cigarette smoking has been shown to be the most important known preventable cause of bladder cancer. Occupations have continued to come under suspicion, although many of the newer findings are tentative. Neither coffee drinking nor use of artificial sweeteners appears to have been responsible for much, if any, human bladder cancer.
