*Cigarette smoking. Smoking greatly increases the risk of developing bladder cancer. Up to half of all bladder cancers in men and several in women may be caused by cigarette smoke.

*Chemical exposure at work. About one in four cases of bladder cancer is caused by coming into contact with to cancer-causing chemicals at work. These chemicals are called carcinogens. Dye workers, rubber workers, aluminum workers, leather workers, truck drivers, and pesticide applicators are at the highest risk.
*Occupational exposure to chemicals
*Chemotherapy: The chemotherapy drug [[cyclophosphamide]] (Cytoxan) may increase the risk of bladder cancer.
*Radiation treatment: Women who had radiation therapy to treat cervical cancer have an increased risk of developing bladder cancer.
*Bladder infection: A long-term (chronic) bladder infection or irritation may lead to a certain type of bladder cancer.
Some research has suggested a link between artificial sweeteners and bladder cancer. The evidence is weak.
