Gonorrhoea and male bladder cancer in a prospective study

Year: 2006

Type: article

Study design: Observational Study

Abstract: In a prospective cohort study, a close to two-fold elevated risk of bladder cancer was found among men reporting a history of gonorrhoea (relative risk=1.92, 95% CI=1.10-3.33). Our finding warrants further examination of the role of gonorrhoea in bladder carcinogenesis.
