Overview

Primary prevention strategies of transitional cell carcinoma include cessation of smoking, avoid exposure to industrial chemicals, avoid aristolochic acids, taking lots of fruits and vegetables, and drinking plenty of liquids.[1]

Primary Prevention

Primary prevention strategies of transitional cell carcinoma include:[1]

  • Cessation of smoking
  • Avoid exposure to industrial chemicals
  • Avoid aristolochic acids
  • Taking lots of fruits and vegetables
  • Increased detoxification of urothelial carcinogens is thought to be the mechanism underlying the protective action of these supplements.
  • A high consumption of cruciferous vegetables has been shown to be associated with a significantly reduced risk of bladder cancer compared to a low intake, especially in nonsmokers.
  • The greater effect was linked to the intake of green and yellow vegetables.
  • Drinking plenty of liquids
