This pooled analysis shows that long duration/low intensity smoking is associated with a greater increase in bladder cancer risk than short duration/ high intensity smoking within equal pack–year categories, thus confirming studies in other smoking-related cancers and demonstrating that reducing exposure history to a single metric such as pack–years was too restrictive.

Abstract

This pooled analysis shows that long duration/low intensity smoking is associated with a greater increase in bladder cancer risk than short duration/ high intensity smoking within equal pack–year categories, thus confirming studies in other smoking-related cancers and demonstrating that reducing exposure history to a single metric such as pack–years was too restrictive.
