Differential Gene Expression in Bladder Tumors from Workers Occupationally Exposed to Arylamines

Occupational exposure to the arylamines benzidine and β-naphthylamine increase bladder cancer risk up to 100-fold, making them some of the most powerful human carcinogens. We hypothesize that tumors arising in people with occupational exposures have different patterns of gene expression than histolo...
