Abstract

Objective: For evaluation of the correlation between tea drinking and the risk of carcinoma of the urinary bladder.

Methods: By searching PubMed, Embase, and Cochrane Library databases, the original studies on tea drinking and carcinoma of the urinary bladder risk were collected, the data were extracted, and meta-analysis package 5.2-0 of R language was used for meta-analysis.

Results: This study contained 11 researches, composed of 7686 patients and 10320 controls. Tea drinking was not linked to carcinoma of the urinary bladder risk (OR:1.02, 95%CI: 0.95-1.11).

Conclusion: Tea drinking may not be linked to carcinoma of the urinary bladder, but more definitive results are needed from higher-quality trials.
