Abstract
The established risk factors for bladder cancer (BC), which has been increasing in recent years worldwide and in Tunisia (Parkin et al. in Cancer J Clin, 55:74–108, 2005), could not explain the exceptionally high incidence of cancer by itself, suggesting that additional risk factors might be involved.
