Long-Term Impact of Arsenic in Drinking Water on Bladder Cancer Health Care and Mortality Rates 20 Years After End of Exposure

Exposure to arsenic is related to a significant need for bladder cancer health care and to high mortality rates even 20 years after having controlled arsenic levels in drinking water. Affected individuals should be aware of the significant impact of this ecological factor. Further research is required to identify strategies for the management of bladder cancer in arsenic exposed populations.
