Contradiction
74.104.131.76 (talk ยท contribs) feels that the article contradicts itself when stating that bladder ca, while not inherited, may be more common in those with a family history. This is absolutely not a contradiction; there are many diseases that are not hereditable in the way haemophilia and colour blindness are, but seem to have a genetic predisposition. Diabetes type 2 is a very good example - not all children of diabetics develop diabetes but their risk and predisposition is increased. JFW | T@lk 22:28, 30 April 2007 (UTC)

- Familial exposure to carcinogens, for example in drinking water or second-hand smoke, also accounts for incidents of coincidental development of the disease in members of the same family, although there is no hereditary predisposition. The statements do not contradict eachother. Jerry 00:17, 15 June 2007 (UTC)
