Vinyl chloride is associated with plumbing and plumbers and damages the liver - increases the risk of angiosarcoma
Schistosomiasis is associated with foreign travel and seen in patients from endemic areas (Egypt) - increases the risk for urinary tract squamous cell carcinoma
Ionizing radiation and radiation exposure are based on the type of radiation:
Mantle radiation can primarily predispose one to papillary thyroid carcinoma and leukemias
Arylamine exposure is associated with the development of bladder cancer and is found in several types of hair dyes and exposure is most common in beauticians and hairdressers; can increase the risk of bladder cancer
The risk of transitional cell carcinoma or urothelial carcinoma can be increased by exposure to cigarette smoke. Additional carcinogens known to be associated with urothelial cancer include phenacetin, cyclophosphamide, and aniline dyes.
