Popis: Bladder cancer remains a second most common cancer regarding the genitourinary tract; 7% of the newly diagnosed per year reveal male population and 2% are females. About half of the male patients are smokers and 30% of females diagnosed with bladder cancer are smokers, too. The occupational exposure to chemical, dye, rubber, printing and leather industries reveals 15–35% in men and 1–6% in women. We have made analysis on our hospital database in 5-year period considering diagnosed and operated patients with bladder cancer and their permanent place of working and living. The results showed that patients that worked and lived in an environment with selective and particular occupational exposure had more frequently appearance and reappearance of bladder cancer.
