| Abstract |
In a case-control study, 403 male patients with a diagnosis of "bladder tumour" and (as controls) 426 patients suffering from prostate disease were investigated. Past employment as a painter was associated with an excess risk of bladder tumour. The relative risk of bladder tumour estimated for painters was 2.76. The possible role of benzidine-based azo dyes (or azo dyes based on substituted benzidines) as a carcinogenic risk factor for painters is discussed. |
