Tadesse D, Rothman N, Xie S, Hurwitz L, Friesen M, Baris D, et al.
Cancer Prev Res (Phila) . 2025 Feb; PMID: 39995157
The New England Bladder Cancer Study (NEBCS) has recently reported an increased bladder cancer risk with occupational exposure to mononuclear aromatic organic solvents, including exposure to benzene, toluene, and xylene...

Hurwitz L, Bailey-Whyte M, Daneshvar M, Vocke C, Custer J, Ryan B, et al.
Cancer Causes Control . 2024 Oct; 36(2):101-106. PMID: 39390262
Purpose: Surgery, an established short-term immunosuppressive event, may spur dissemination of circulating tumor cells and promote the growth of micrometastases. Whether surgical treatment for prostate cancer (i.e., radical prostatectomy) leads...
