title: [Sodium nitrate as a possible promotor of bladder carcinogenesis in rats].
abstract: The effect of sodium nitrite on promotion of N-butyl-N-(4-hydroxybutyl)-nitrosamine-induced tumors of the bladder in rats was studied. Sodium nitrite was found to promote bladder carcinogenesis, raising the occurrence of carcinomas threefold as compared to controls.
