Heavy smoking raises risk of lethal bladder cancer

A new study from 212 bladder cancer patients in Los Angeles County has identified further evidence that smoking is one of the most common causes of bladder cancer.  By observing changes in proteins, the study unveiled that "the greater the number of changes in these proteins, the worse a patient's outcome."  These findings hold new promise, particularly as bladder cancer is considered one of the most expensive types of cancer to treat.
