From Dr. Lamm's site:
"In bladder cancer we did the first double blind study showing that natural vitamins can prevent cancer. In bladder cancer patients high doses of vitamins A, B6, C, E and zinc ("Oncovite," Mission Pharmacal) when compared with RDA vitamins reduced tumor recurrence by 40%. In a mouse model we found that aged garlic extract added to drinking water significantly reduced growth of transplanted bladder cancer and prolonged survival. For patients with bladder cancer who wish to advance this science I will soon have a study sponsored by the NCI that will evaluate Green Tea and a chemical that blocks growth factors. In prostate cancer, this time in a rat model, we found that moderate exercise, but not excessive exercise, reduced tumor growth. Bladder Cancer Prevention

Medical advice, like any other, needs to be taken at times with a grain of salt. For example, water contaminated with arsenic or pesticides should be avoided, but studies have shown that risk of bladder cancer is reduced with increased fluid intake. Sun exposure increases the risk of skin cancer, but is associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer. Soy is associated with a reduced risk of prostate cancer, but may increase bladder cancer risk and the isothyanates in cruciferous vegetables that are effective in reducing cancer risk can, in excess, have the opposite effect. Similar findings reported with vitamin C. Moderation, it seems, is good advice in all things"
