The risk of bladder cancer in coffee drinkers is higher than that in non coffee drinkers, but there is no dose and time trend between them. Epidemiological studies have excluded the strong correlation between coffee and bladder cancer, but the correlation between them is not excluded. Long term chronic stimulation of urethral epithelium or increased levels of carcinogens in urine caused by human metabolites may lead to canceration after proliferation of urinary tract epithelium. For example, bladder squamous cell carcinoma is associated with Schistosoma infection or bladder stones.
