Kantor A F (Environmental Epidemiology Branch, National Cancer Institute, Landow Building, Room 3C07, Bethesda, Maryland 20205, USA), Hartge P, Hoover R N, Fraumeni J F Jr. Tuberculosis chemotherapy and risk of bladder cancer. International Journal of Epidemiology 1985, 14: 182–184.

In a population-based study of 2982 bladder cancer patients and 5782 population controls from 10 geographical areas of the US, no excess risk was associated with medications used for tuberculosis treatment or prophylaxis (relative risk (RR)=0.95). The findings agree with other epidemiological studies that have not confirmed earlier reports linking isoniazid (INH) exposure to bladder cancer.
