Sample Description: This sample consists of French individuals who were part of a case-control study. The study was conducted in France between 1997 and 2001 in three general hospitals located in Paris. This sample includes the non-urological control treated at the medical departments for non-tobacco related diseases. Detailed information on sociodemographic characteristics, medical history and occupational history was collected.
