21 Jan 2004
Abstract excerpt
Arsenic and cadmium (Cd(+2)) are human carcinogens, and epidemiological studies have implicated both pollutants in the development of urinary bladder cancer. Despite this epidemiological base, it is unknown if either Cd(+2) or arsenite (As(+3)) can directly cause the malignant transformation of human urothelial cells.
