Certain occupations linked to increased bladder cancer risk
Wiley

A new analysis of UK workers reveals that certain occupations may increase the risk of bladder cancer.

After analyzing 25 articles, investigators found that the greatest risk of developing bladder cancer occurred in workers within the chemical, rubber, and dye industries. In contrast, the greatest risk of death from bladder cancer was in electrical, chemical, and transport workers. Such deaths were also higher in the North of England, probably reflecting smoking patterns and industrial distributions.
