RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ABO BLOOD GROUPS AND COLORECTAL CANCER

The distribution of the ABO blood group system (A, B, O or AB) and Rhesus type (Rh-positive, Rh- negative, Rh+ or Rh-) was studied retrospectively in 981 patients with colorectal cancer. The distribution of ABO and Rh blood groups among the observed patients was similar to the distribution among the normal population in Croatia. No specific relationship has been established between the blood group type and colorectal cancer. There were significant differences in the proportions ratio of 1.15 and 0.75 in Rh-positive and Rh- negative blood group. No significant difference could be found in the ABO distributions with regard to tumor stage.
