Several common factors of bladder cancer

The factors that cause bladder cancer are very complex, and the factors that cause the disease are often not single. The most common situation is that multiple causes cause the onset of bladder cancer. Therefore, it is actually quite difficult to prevent bladder cancer. The following are some of the factors that cause bladder cancer:

1. Pelvic radiotherapy: Pelvic radiotherapy can also increase the risk of bladder cancer. Experts say that women who receive pelvic radiotherapy for cervical cancer or ovarian cancer have a 2-4 times increased risk of bladder cancer.
2. Tobacco: Tobacco may also cause bladder cancer. Studies have shown that 25% to 65% of bladder cancer patients smoke. Compared with non-smokers, smokers have a 4-fold increased risk of bladder cancer. Therefore, smokers should pay attention to quitting smoking in time, which can reduce the risk of bladder cancer.
3. Occupational factors: Bladder cancer is also related to some occupational factors, such as exposure to benzene dyes, which is the most common industrial risk factor for bladder cancer. It has been reported that people in the following occupations have an increased risk of bladder cancer: auto workers, leather workers, metallurgical workers, mechanics, dry cleaners, papermakers, barbers, beauticians, garment workers and plumbers.
4. Urinary tract diseases. Long-term chronic stimulation of the urethral epithelium or increased levels of carcinogens in the urine caused by human metabolic products can cause the urethral epithelium to proliferate and then become cancerous. For example, bladder squamous cell carcinoma is related to Schistosoma haematobium infection or bladder stones.
In fact, in many cases, bladder cancer is closely related to the stimulation of urine, mainly referring to the stimulation of urine, and the concentration of urine is closely related to drinking water. One thing that should be noted in particular is that if there are carcinogens in the water, the chance of developing bladder cancer is very high.
