Early recognition and prevention - Deutsche Klinik Allianz

Smokers are especially at risk. Nicotine abuse tops the list of risk factors: American studies have shown that smokers are 2 to 3 times more likely to develop bladder cancer than non-smokers.

Also, certain chemicals, such as amines, can contribute to bladder tumors.

Workers in the rubber, leather, textile, and chemical industries, as well as hairdressers, printers, painters, metalworkers, truck drivers, are at increased risk. Suspicion of an occupational disease in these occupations must always be reported to the appropriate authorities.
