Genetic variations influence bladder cancer risk and outcomes. This review categorizes genetic polymorphisms involved in cancer development, aiding understanding of molecular epidemiology.

Area of Science:

  • Molecular epidemiology
  • Cancer genetics
  • Bladder cancer pathogenesis

Background:

  • Individual genetic differences impact responses to carcinogens, affecting cancer risk and prognosis.
  • Bladder cancer is a globally prevalent malignancy.
  • Understanding genetic susceptibility is crucial for cancer research.

Purpose of the Study:

  • To review and summarize research on the association between genetic polymorphisms and bladder cancer.
  • To categorize genetic polymorphisms based on cellular functions relevant to bladder cancer.
  • To discuss limitations and future directions in genetic susceptibility research for bladder cancer.

Main Methods:

  • Systematic review of published research articles.
  • Categorization of genetic polymorphisms by cellular function (e.g., carcinogen metabolism, DNA repair, cell cycle control, apoptosis, inflammation, methylation, G proteins, cell adhesion molecules).
