Abstract
A high incidence of bladder cancer has been documented in an area of c hronic arsenic (As) exposure. This study investigates the characterist ics of As-associated (n = 49) and other (n = 64) bladder cancers. A hi gher histological grading was observed for the As-exposed tumours (P = 0.04), but no other difference in pathobiological features or prognos is was found between the two groups.
