Abstract in brief

  • Use of e-cigarettes has surged, raising concerns about potential health effects including urinary exposure to carcinogenic substances similar to those in tobacco smoke.
  • Research aimed to gather and analyze existing data on urinary biomarkers in e-cigarette users to assess their risk for developing bladder cancer.
  • Out of 1385 articles reviewed, 22 were relevant, identifying 40 parent compounds and 63 carcinogenic metabolites in e-cigarette users’ urine, showing increased levels compared to non-users.

@atoscanof4 @un_tal_urologo https://t.co/jAixrwvBAz Revisión sistemática del 2021 publicada en la revista uro-oncológica europea. La similitud con el cigarrillo es innegable, claramente hacen falta estudios; pero la evidencia es clara, el cigarrillo electrónico es deletéreo para la salud!
