Risk factors: The "chances" getting bladder cancer are totally dependent on the environmental risk factors (i.e. Exposures) and your specific genetic make-up/susceptibility to form cancers. Some know environmental hazards for bladder cancer include smoking and working in textiles, with tires, truck drivers, petroleum exposure, leather tanning, dry cleaning services and hair salon to name a few.
