Who are the most susceptible groups to bladder cancer? What are the common causes of bladder cancer?

People who are prone to bladder cancer mainly include long-term smokers, people who have long-term exposure to industrial chemical products, people with bladder diseases, and people with a family history of bladder cancer.

1. Long-term smokers

Long-term smokers are 2 to 3 times more likely to develop bladder cancer than other people, and the incidence is proportional to the duration and amount of smoking. Not only long-term smokers, but also those who are exposed to secondhand smoke for a long time are also one of the groups prone to bladder cancer.

2. People who have long-term contact with industrial chemical products

People who have been engaged in pharmaceutical preparation, pesticide production, rubber, paint, textile dyes, etc. for a long time are also susceptible to bladder cancer, but the onset is slower. Some contacts will not develop the disease until 15 to 20 years after exposure to these industrial chemical products.

3. People with bladder diseases

People who suffer from bladder diseases such as bladder stones and bladder diverticulum may develop into cancer if the disease is not treated in time.

4. Those with a family history of bladder cancer

Although bladder cancer is not a hereditary disease, it is related to hereditary factors. For those with a family history of bladder cancer, the risk of other direct relatives suffering from bladder cancer is higher.
