Smoking Cessation and the Risk of Bladder Cancer among Postmenopausal Women
Quitting smoking for decades may improve a postmenopausal woman's odds of evading bladder cancer.
Does smoking cessation affect a postmenopausal woman's chances of having bladder cancer? This study was carried out to provide answer to this question. Up to 143,279 postmenopausal women enrolled for this study and offered information about their smoking habits and bladder cancer diagnosis status.
Researchers observed that participants who stopped smoking for a duration of 10-30 years enjoyed a 25% reduction in bladder cancer risk. The data from this study indicate long term cessation of smoking may halt the onset of bladder cancer in postmenopausal women.
