Trends in tobacco smoking and bladder and lung-bronchial cancer rates among non-hispanic white Americans (2000-2016).

ABSTRACT:

Background

Cancer incidence may be linked to cumulative exposure to environmental factors, including diet, lifestyle behaviors, licit drug use (such as tobacco), and endogenous processes. Tobacco smoking (TS) is strongly associated with bladder cancer (BC) and lung-bronchial cancer (LBC). This study aimed to analyze TS, BC, and LBC rates; their correlation with sex and age; and the risk of subsequent primary cancers among BC and LBC patients in non-Hispanic white Americans (NHWAs) from 13 U.S. states.

Methods

The percentage of smokers in 13 U.S. states from 2000 to 2016 was obtained from the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) database. LBC and BC cases in NHWAs from 2000 to 2016 were analyzed as single primary cancers or as the first of two or more neoplasms us
