Abstract
Urine plays a major role in bladder carcinogenesis, acting as a transp ort mechanism for carcinogens, containing several growth factors stimu lating cell proliferation, and indirectly affecting chemicals by alter ations in concentrations of normal urinary components such as electrol ytes, water and proteins. These latter effects are greatly modified by diet composition and consumption and also by water consumption. Sever al examples of these effects are presented.
