Clinicopathological features of bladder cancer associated with chronic exposure to arsenic

British Journal of Cancer volume 75, pages 1708–1710 (1997)Cite this article

Abstract

A high incidence of bladder cancer has been documented in an area of chronic arsenic (As) exposure. This study investigates the characteristics of As-associated (n = 49) and other (n = 64) bladder cancers. A higher histological grading was observed for the As-exposed tumours (P = 0.04), but no other difference in pathobiological features or prognosis was found between the two groups.
