In most cases the surrogate level of exposure to OT was higher than to other amines. All 10 cases were exposed primarily to OT and co-exposed to paratoluidine, ortho-anisidine, aniline, 2,4-xylidine or orthochloroaniline. The age range at diagnosis was 41-71 years (mean 56). The duration of OT exposure was 7-28 years (mean 16.5) . Disease latency was 16-28 years (mean 21.9) . Eight patients were smokers. The main symptom at diagnosis was hematuria (70%).<\/jats:p>\n               <\/jats:sec>\n               <jats:sec>\n                  <jats:title>Conclusions<\/jats:title>\n                  <jats:p>The characteristics of BCa cases were associated with a high surrogate level of OT exposure and a disease latency of more than 20 years from the initial OT exposure.
