I'm not too familiar with the industrial dye industry - first aid says aniline dyes are a risk factor for TCC, pathoma says azo dyes are a risk factor for TCC, can someone shed light onto whether these are for all intents and purposes the same thing or different compounds with different profiles of adverse effects...and any comments on pathogenesis?

Google is your friend. Look them up, they are completely different. They get concentrated in your bladder. They are perfect for intercalating in your dna

Tact is your friend.

In answering my question, "are they for all intents and purposes the same thing", you stated "they are completely different", and then proceeded to state they have the same pathogenesis, making them for all intents and purposes the same thing.

I thank you for providing the pathogenic mechanism (concentration in bladder --> intercalation into DNA)

I probably wouldn't have so much to say if I had a question that every first year medical student should know the answer to. They are not the same for all intents and purposes, just for tcc. They are different compounds
